Here is an introductory note from Dorothy Payne, newly with us. Can anyone help her? She says: Dear Ginny, Thank you. I'll try to sum this up. My mother was the daughter of Alfred Oliver Benoit (b. Kankakee, IL) and Edgive Gagnon (b. Holt Co., MO). I am particularly looking for: BENOIT, Pierre/Peter m. MALO, Mary E. (called Isabel). Peter b. Aug. 9, 1829 in Montreal (?) m. abt 1858 d. Oct.11, 1890 in Cloud Co., KS. Bur. St. Joseph Cem. They must have been in IL for some years. They had 8 other children, born in Chicago. By 1880 they were in Clyde, Cloud Co., KS.
