Starting in April 1830 Benedict Spalding acted as administrator of the estate of James Branson. He filed 2 accountings. Then by April 23, 1831 Benedict had died. James' estate was taken over by the Administrators of Benedict's - Aletha and James Spalding. Does anyone have any insight to the relationship between James and Benedict? Benedict's lineage? Thank you, Sharon
