You are absolutely correct about the Ely Cemetery. I have contacted numerous people and
they say there is no record of the Zeluff's being buried there. However, my aunt had
in her genealogy notes that this is where they were buried. I am descended from Benjamin,
son of Daniel and Hannah Clark. My aunt also had in her notes that Bejamin and his wife,
Mary (Polly) Ward died on the same day. However, this is not true. Mary Ward was a
witness in the pension papers where Catherine tried to get a pension for her husband,
Daniel (brother to Benjamin) service in the Rev. War and she said in the papers that she
is the widow of Benjamin.
Seems to me that if I need proof of the parentage of Benjamin and Mary Ward to Zebediah,
their son, that I would need to have church records. Benjamin's parents were wed in
the Episcopal Church but don't know about Benjamin and Mar Ward. However, Zebediah
was married in the Presbyterian church.
