Hello Barb, I don't follow all messages in this posting, but when I saw the name: "BENGE" it caught my eye. That is the name of some of my family. I haven't searched back very far, only to my g-grandfather Obadiah Benge. He was on the 1906 Rolls along with my grandmother who was only a few months old at the time of the roll. Are the Benge's you mentioned related to my Obadiah Benge? And if yes, do you have more info you could share with me?

Karen, I assume you are talking about Obediah Martin Benge b. 1 Jan 1840 at Big Skin Bayou, Sequayah Dist. Indian Territory. I never did find a maiden name for his second wife Etta. Do You have that information? Don At 05:55 PM 12/3/2012, you wrote: >Hello Barb, I don't follow all messages in this posting, but when I >saw the name: "BENGE" it caught my eye.
