Looking for family ties to Benjamin KESNER who appears on the 1880 S Benton, Cedar, MO census with his son-in-law, Richard CROSS and daughter, Martha Abrigail KESNER CROSS. Benjamin's wife, Margaret COFFMAN KESNER wrote an 1874 letter "home" to WV from Urbana, Dallas, MO where they were visiting; probably with their son, Simeon KESNER. Any clues about this family are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Dianna Anderson
