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.
