I'm sorry but no. My John Benton was born 1815 in Pasquotank County, North Carolina
and came west with his father Joshua Benton. Joshua had 8 children and I believe at least
6 if not all of them came to Indiana in 1828. I'm still trying to find 4 of them. 2
sons born between 1811-1815, 1 daughter born between 1817-1819, and 1 son born between
1825-1830. The youngest son must of died because he is only counted once in the 1830
census for Wayne County, IN and is not there for the 1840 census.
Thanks for responding,
Gwen
