Dear Glenn, Welcome, cousin-in-law - I, too, am a descendant of James of Devonshire. My line is James, James, Benjamin, Silas... I'd surely appreciate the information on Kristina's line, just how she is descended. Your message may confuse some of the Benjamins. Also, there is a question as to which Abigail Benjamin married. D-7 Benjamin3 (James2, James1) married ABIGAIL ca 1730. We are not sure as to her maiden name, which might have been Adams (per ME Vital Records which show Adams) or Goodwin (per David & Carol Eddleman, although unconfirmed). This Benjamin3 and Abigail had a son D-22 Benjamin4, born 1759, bp 22 Jul 1759 "in infancy" Cumberland, Harpswell Co, ME (ME Records). Benjamin4 married Mary STANLEY ca 1777 in Maine. There was a Nantucket Branch Benjamin b 1742 who married Eunice SWAIN; another Nantucket Benjamim b 1747 who died young; and D-16 Benjamin b 1740 md Elizabeth BARNES. Those are the only Benjamins we have with a birthdate anywhere near 1745. Do you know where that information came from? I can send you the entire lineage with dates, siblings, etc., if you'll send me your wife's line as you know it. Perhaps there are some confusions in it. At any rate, delighted to hear from you and awaiting your info with interest.
