George, Glad to be of help. Benjamin was my gggrandfather. He apparently was quite a rascal. He is also my proverbial brick wall. I have Ben married to Elizabeth CHOUNIE, unk date, with four children; Permulicia b c 1833, James Frederick b c 1835, William J.(my ggrandfather) b c 1837, and Emaliane b Aug 27, 1839. Ben had a son George b August 28, 1851 possibly by Mary (or maybe even Hannah). The 1850 Ste. Gen. City Census shows: Benjamin 42 b Mo Hannah 22 b Ill Pernecia A. 17 b Mo James 15 b Mo William 13 b Mo Emeline 11 b Mo Apparently, Elizabeth CHOUNIE was no longer with him. Until I found the court item about cohabitating with Hannah CLINTON, I had assumed Hannah was their first child. Ben went on to marry Rosalie M. THOMURE b c 1832 d Mar 29, 1864 m Mar 13, 1855. There were two more children; Thomas b Apr 10, 1957, and, John b c 1859. Ben d c 1863. Ste. Gen. County Court records of marriages Book/Volume A 1807-1898 (LDS microfilm nr 915668) included the following item: This will certify that on the 8th day of March 1849 I joined in marriage Nicholas CONNOR and Mary Wilson. Recorded June 15th 1849 Robert P Gentry Minister of the Gospel Hope this helps George. Regards, Paul P.S. I would also be interested in where to find divorce records during that timeframe.
