Hello everyone, I don't have my papers with me, but I think one source of this information was Leonardo Andrea files. I also found this obit on Ancestry.com (to the best of my recollection). I tried to find more information on Benjamin, but couldn't find any more. I am descended from Reese Busby, believed to be the Reese Busby in Benjamin's will. If there were a Benjamin of the correct age to be Benjamin Sr son (wife Suzannah) then I think Reeses' father must have predeceased Reese's grandfather or left his sons with his father. The idea that our Benjamin had his sons in the eventide of his life is hard to believe, but not impossible. I will continue to look for another explanation. I do agree this is what the obit is credited with saying. The Andrea files for Busby are on the Busby Home Page. It's good to be back on line.
