A clue may be that Benjamin had two wives, the first deceased and unknown by 1850 and the second, Phebe Mitchell also deceased by 1850. This Elizabeth Ward married Thomas Prior in 1852 and was mother to Thomas Pierce Prior born 1853. Thomas Prior died before March 1857. She then married James Livingston, son of Benjamin in march of 1858. She is found in the 1860 census household of Benjamin Livingston with her husband James Livingston and her son Thomas Pierce Prior.
