Message Board Post:
Mary G Benson was first married to William Watson and those children are hers. William I
believe died young and she remarried. Her daughter is the Leonora Watson Smith Phemister
Wright that can be found in Terre Haute records, too. Leonora was my GGG Grandmother. Mary
was my GGGG grandmother. The daughter was divorced from a Levi Smith, my GGG grandfather.
I am interested in finding more on these children of Marys too.I had always thought Mary
died young too until I came across one census where Leonoras daughter by Phemister lived
with her grandmother who was then a Benson.A distant cousin of mine helped me find Leonora
because I never knew her new married name after Levi divorced and remarried and came on to
MO with my GG Grandfather George. I have since found a lot on this family from obits to
more census records. Vigo County has marriages online now too. I know nothing about the
Ray woman, though.
