Stacy, He is not listed in the Franklin County, GA books, Gone to Georgia, or They Went That A Way (Virginia to NC). He is not listed in Georgia Revolutionary War Soldiers Graves (2 volumes), Roster of Revolutionary Soldiers in Georgia (3 volumes), Passports of Southeastern Pioneers, and a few other remote possibilities. Do you have access to the subscription sites, maybe 12 or 13 of them? If not let me know and I will search. Dee All lookup requests will be permanently archived on the Bladen County Genweb site.

What a great collection you have! I am researchin my family, surname, Farmer. I am looking to prove my line from Josiah Farmer b 1744 d. 1805. I want to prove up and down the line from him. He seems to be the one who moved around as he was born in VA, had a family in Franklin GA and died in Granville, NC. He may have been a soldier and maybe that explains why he left his family in GA. Anyway, I hope this is enough information for you to go on. The book listed as a resource is below. Any other help would be great!

We will be placing a CSA marker for William Dallas King (1846-1927) on Saturday morning (6/30) at 8:30 at the Dal King cemetery near Dublin, NC. Leaving Hwy 87 from Dublin, NC, you turn left onto Reedy Meadow Road. About 1 mile down this road, you turn right onto a large dirt road. Drive past several residences on this dirt road and the cemetery is located off to your right in a large field. Dal enlisted in 2nd Company K, 40th Regiment North Carolina Troops (3rd Regiment NC Artillery), on 24 February, 1864 for the Civil War. He was mustered in as a Private and appointed Musician from May-June 1864. His brother, James William King, and his first cousin George B. King served in the same Company with him. James W. King (1842-1907) is buried in the Allen cemetery and we have ordered a marker for him. George B. King died in Leon County, Texas in 1899. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncbladen/pictures/ancestors/king/wdking.htm Jason

The information I have is very lengthy. Contact me at bensons412@aol.com and tell me where you fit in tree so that I can start there and go back with the info you need. My father was Douglas Newkirk Benson Sr. His father was Okey Newkirk Benson. His father was Louis Robert Benson. Four of his sons and his brother, William Daniel Benson, were with the railroad including my grandfather who died in 1934 in Willmington NC. Louis & William's father was William Henry Benson. He died in 1865 in Pollard AL. He was with the railroad. William Henry's father was Levi Benson. Levi's father was Frances Benson. Off of the top of my head, John Benson was either Frances' brother or son. (I think) There were so many Bensons with the railroad that my father always said that there was a connection with the Atlantic Seaboard Railroad. I have several supplements to the book Some Benson Kinsmen with Memoirs that I have not read in years. I hope this is not to confusing, b! ut like I said contact me and I will try to explain further.
