Re: Benson's from Ireland

iceman_032280 — 2012-05-14 15:33:02Z

I found out a couple years ago that my last name should be Benson. My great-grandfather was born Benson and his last name was changed to Flores. The story is my great(x2) grandfather was murdered in Texas over a gambling debt. He had 2 sons and a wife. She remarried and changed her sons last name from Benson to Flores. Since one of my aunts has red hair I was thinking he may be from the Irish Benson's. Any ideas?

Benson, Daily, Holmes in Ontario Canada

bakerj151 — 2012-04-19 13:12:38Z

I'm looking for Elizabeth BENSON b 1806 likely in Prince Edward County Ontario and d 1877. She married Daniel DAILY b 1803 in New York state (likely), d 1889 in Ontario, Canada.

They had several children identified so far including: Jane Ann, Nelson, Mahala, Napolean. Jane Ann married James HOLMES.

I would like to confirm a birth date/place for Elizabeth as well as identify her parents names.

Daniel may have been naturalized in Prince Edward County, Ontario about 1831.
Would anyone have access to "Indexes to Naturalization Records for Prince Edward Co, ON for years 1828, 1830 and 1831" by Mary Young or other another source that they might be able to check for Daniel to see if his birthplace may be listed?

Would like to connect with anyone having interest in this family to exchange information.

Thanks.

HELP! We have hit the wall. It was listed that Wm Benson was my Gr-Gr Grandmother's (Carolina Benson) father on several documents including a marriage certificate at St Joseph's Cathedral, San Diego, CA. Her mother is listed as Ma Anta Quis (Maria Antonia)
-Carolina Benson was born approximately 1849. San Pasqual Indian Tribe.
-Supposedly there is a marriage record at San Diego Mission for the marriage of William Benson & Maria Antonia Quisquis. Have not seen this myself, YET.
-William Benson could have been in the military. He is referenced as "Capt".
-Supposedly there was a prominent Benson Family that resided in the Imperial Valley, CA.
Any help/discussion on this matter is greatly anticipated and will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Lucy A. Benson

danielgrimsley500 — 2011-10-10 20:46:20Z

I don't know if this helps anyone or not but there is an
abandoned cemetery about 3 miles from the Carvers Creek
Methodist Church that only has two stone markers. One
reads "Francis Benson Sept 12,1818 to Feb 27,1882". The
other reads "Levi S. Benson Co.B - NC Arty - CSA"

There are three graves marked with wooden markers and
several sunken areas that are likely graves.

There is a book entitled, "Some Benson Kinsmen with Memories",
by Norman Benson, copyright 1982 that may be useful. Copies
are available at the Elizabethtown, Whiteville, and
wilmington libraries.

Re: Terry James "Tiny" Benson

staceyjamesrn1 — 2011-09-26 22:04:35Z

Lula Benson passed away in 1910. Tiny remarried
Carter Alice Cowell in 1911. He was 55yrs old and she was 35. Together, Tiney and
Carter had 4 children:

* Gladys Benson: b. Oct 1, 1912 d. Oct1, 1912
* Lillian Benson B.Sep 18, 1913 d. 1915
* Winnefred Cullen Benson b. No 13, 1914
* Jay Stanley Benson B. Mar 20, 1916

Tiney's children from his first marrage were very upset he had remarried so soon. When he died of diabetes at the age of 66, he was buried beside his 1st wife Lula.

Carter Alice died a few years later at the age of 45 leaving Cullen and Jay orphans. My grandfather Jay told me the first memories he had were of he and his brothere in a wooden wagon pulled by mules, taking a wooden box that carried his mother's body to the grave yard. Cullen was taken in by an aunt but she could only afford to take one of the boys. Jay was sent to live in an orphanage. Jay search well into his 60's searching for his half brothers and sisters knowing only that possibly some had settled in Ok. In a hardware store in Paris, TX , a man from OK came in the store. Jay ask, as he did and had every stranger his whole life, "What is your name; where are you from; and do you know any Benson's?" The man said yes. It took another 12 years before he met all his half sibilings. One of the sisters had a picture of Jay's father Tiney. The resemblence was unbelievable. She told him "I knew you were my brother the minute I saw you".
