He married, in 1792, Keziah Maxwell, daughter of The Rev. Thomas J. Maxwell, Jr., and Mary Pemberton. She was born 11 Jan 1766 also in Virginia. Benson was the father of Benjamin Henry, who was the father of Dr. John Benson Henry (Confederate Army Medical Officer), who was the father of John Abner Henry, who was the father of Mary Belle Henry, my great-grandmother on my mother's mother's side. As best as I can establish, Benson Henry is the son of William Henry and Jemima Thomason Benson. But the records are _very_ confused on this point. Question: I believe that Benson Henry's father, presumably this same William Henry, is either a brother or a nephew of Governor Patrick ("Liberty or Death") Henry. But the trail is severely tangled, and I have seen contradictory information on this point, _especially_ on WorldConnect/AWT.
