Someone responded to my inquiry about Benbow/Sowash, and I deleted before I thanked them. To whoever you are, I had checked that site. That is where I found the census reports. Thank you. Again: My mother in law's father was Adam Vestle BENBOW b. 3 Jun 1866 Sulpher springs, Henry, IN moved to Ohio and married Carrie Viola Parsons. Adam's parents were John Barclay BENBOW b. 1839 and died 1934 and married Susanna SOWASH. The 1830 and 1840 census show a Barclay Benbow, but I can find no other information. I am at a real dead end and limited to computer research. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Dorothy
