Your Benjamin is about the same age as mine, about 1847 in TN. Does your 1880 census show where his parents were born? My Edward was born in TN and his wife Mariah was born in AL. Do you get the impression that your Benjamin is the son of Clay and Susan Roberts? Where was your Benjamin born? Perhaps we can both get some help from this.
