In 1850 Slave Census in Huntsville area, John J. Benford had 15 slaves and next door Abner H. Benford had 25 slaves. Betcha old Abner had a son, James Abner, who moved to Perry County c. 1860 with slaves. I have asked Alabama Cousins doing genealogy in Perry Cousin...they have never heard of the plantation. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas
