aka Starr Benedict, b Danbury, Fairfield County, CT, ca Feb1813, son of George and Dorcas (Vail), was married 1st to either Sophia Carey, or, per 1850 census, Washington, Litchfield County, CT, Delilah, and per 1960 census, Kent, Litchfield County, Delia. she d ca 1861. They had 3 known children: dau Francis b ca 1850, son George Israel b ca 1853, New Preston, Litchfield County, and Sarah Frances b bet 1857 and 1961. Starr Benedict did not register any of his daughters births. Am seeking any information on Sophia Carey/Delilah/Delia ?. Maiden name, where/when born, where they married, where/when she died and is buried. Per a certified genealogist, she died in Kent, Litchfield County, but i did not find any listing in the LDS records. Also seeking information on their dau Francis. she was last found in the 1870 census as a domestic servant for the Bruce Hatch family in Kent, Litchfield County. I have information on George Israel. Sarah Frances (aka Sadie) is also a mystery. She m Carlton Leslie Graves in Madison, CT 30Jun1883. the marriage cert lists 1st marriage for Carlton, 2nd marriage for Sarah. They had 1 child, Goldie Bell Graves, b 19Oct1889, and on her birth cert, it lists 2nd child born to mother. Seeking any information on her 1st marriage and child. Carlton Graves d 3Nov1894, and Sarah/Sadie has disappeared completely! Goldie Bell shows up 11May1906 in Palatka, FL (near St Augustine) marrying Elzie H.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TZ.2ADE/4853.1 Message Board Post: Hello In order to order death records you need the exact names and dates of the party you are looking for. I suggest you contact mountain grove cemeteyy and see if they can tell you anything. Tell them who you are looking for and hopefully they can give you a burial date and maybe who else is buried with him if there is a family plot. If you have specifics you can also contact the Historical Collections Department of the Bridgeport public library and have them do a search of the party you are looking for. They can search city directories to trace a family for you and maybe even narrow down a death date for you. If you have the dates thats helpful and they can look up obits in old editions of the paper on microfilm. In order to order the death records from Vital Records of Bridgeport at Mclevy Hall you have to have their exacte dates of death. I hope this information is helpful too you. The historical collections charges a small fee of $5 dollars for the research and .10cents for e! ach copy made. Vital records charges I believe $5.00 per record.

I may be able to help with the photographs and the death records kept by the cemetery. (Mountain Grove generally has an index card for everyone buried in the cemetery. The information on the card can vary.) For official records, you need to contact vital records in the town where the individual died. It would be helpful if you could send approximate dates. Also, please remember the weather is factor for roaming the cems this time of year. Bye for now, Karen www.geocities.com/ksteel.geo "Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
