NEGHS Vol 435, page 435 item 49, married June 15 at Leominster Neziah B. Benton, residing Leominster, 27, cabinet maker, born Leo, Frank C. & Loretta C. Bitters, 1st marriage Mary J. Savery (maiden name Dezetoll), residing Leominster,17, shirt maker , born Burlington VT, Joseph & Julia Lesprance Dezetoll, 2nd marriage Vol: 188 ; Page: 195 N. Bitters Benton born Feb 17, 1866 at Leominster to Frank and Loretta, Frank is comb maker, born W. Newbury, Loretta born Philadelphia. Vol: 164 ; Page: 184 Frank C. Benton, 23, and Loretta C. Bitters 20, were married Jan 4, 1863 at Leominster, where he was residing, she was from Philadelphia PA., he was born Newbury, MA, parents Henry & Miranda, she was born Philly, parents Lorenzo C. and Sarah. Frank died 1898. I looked to see if there were other Dezetolls in the VR on NEHGS, but there are none, nor is there a death for a Savery who might be Mary's first husband. So to the Census: 1930, Naziah B. Benton and wife Mary J., both 64, found in Leominster. She is listed as born VT, parents Canada, French. her age at first marriage is 15. 1900, Naziah B. Benton, born Feb 1866, 24, m. 7 yrs, MA, MA, PA Mary J. Benton, born June 1865, 34, m 7 yrs, 2 children, 1 living, VT, parents Canada/Fr Mary L. Savery born Sep 1881, 18, single, born CT, father Canada, French, mother VT, shirtmaker This at least gives you Mary's parents and their origins, plus a probable nativity and marriage for Mary's first husband.
