Who is the William born c1801? Have no record of a William Benson in Bladen born about that time, nor of any Dowey until much later. Children of Francis Benson Sr & Sarah Bigford were William (moved to GA bef 1850), Susannah, Thomas, Samuel, David, Rebecca, Lucy, James, John and Francis Jr. Archibald was the son of Mary Ann & David Benson, possibly a brother of Francis Benson Sr. Brothers Thomas, John & Francis Benson married sisters Lucy, Elizabeth and Sarah Bigford sometime in the 1780's.
