Sorry for not responding sooner, but life is busy with four teenagers! I already have the info you sent and figured out that Luther had a brother Stewart H as well as a son Stewart H. the one in 1850 is his brother. the son is listed in 1860. Ellen E Forrest m Stewart about 1868 and he died sometime before 1870. Ellen is listed in 1870 as Ellen Benham 26 IN in Luther Benham's household. By process of elimination I concluded that Ellen married Stewart. Luther had two other sons for whom there are valid marriage records, so that left Stewart. Also since there are no other Ellens in the previous censii for Luther; she was a new addition. There is mention in the LDS library of these conclusions as well. Ellen m2) William H Crecelius. I am related to the Forrests. Ellen's sister Catherine Ann "Kate" Forrest m1) Oliver P Westfall (divorced) m 2) Samuel B Crecelius [brother to William H]. The Forrest sisters' brother James S Forrest is my gg-gf. He moved to Clinton Co IL. Thanks again for all your help; hope my message helps you too. Blessings, sharon forrest petrie
