    1. [HENSLEY] BENTON - HENSLEY Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Barbara BENTON of Weaverville, California. The photograph was taken at the Ramsdell Studio, though no location is indicated on the photograph. I am guessing that it was taken sometime in the 1890's and that Barbara was likely in her teens at the time. Based on limited research, I was able to locate the following information regarding Barbara and her family: Barbara Garrett BENTON was b. 14 Dec 1879 in Weaverville, CA to parents James BENTON and Mary Amanda HENSLEY. Barbara married Charles WARREN on 19 Oct 1898. Barbara BENTON WARREN died 20 Sept 1939. Census records provide the following information: 1880 census of Weaverville, CA: James BENTEN, age 49, born Scotland, a Blacksmith, parents born Scotland Mary BENTEN, wife, age 26, born MO, Keeping House, parents born MO William BENTEN, son, age 5, born CA Emersen BENTEN, son, age 4, born CA Mary BENTEN, dau, age 2, born CA Ellen BENTEN, dau, age 1, born CA Barbary BENTEN, dau, age 5 months, born CA 1900 census of Weaverville Township, CA: Chas WARREN, age 33, born Jan 1867, married 1 year, born IN, parents born IN/GA, a Bookkeeper Barbara WARREN, wife, age 20, born Dec 1879, married 1 year, 1 child/1 living, born CA, parents born Scotland/MO Emerson WARREN, son, age 8 months, born CA Emerson BENTON, brother-in-law, age 24, born Oct 1875, born CA, parents born Scotland/MO, a Dry Goods Salesman 1910 census of Weaverville Township, CA: Charles WARREN, age 44, married 11 years, born IN, parents born KY/GA, a Stock-raiser Barbara G.
