Benjiman is indeed the son of Jacob and Barbara who had come from the Rowan NC area. They later ended up in what is now Pendleton County West Virginia. Benjiman was born about 1765 in this West Virginia area. My information has his wifes name as Mary Catherine Longe ( or Long ). There were three children, but I have misplaced for now their names. Benjiman died when he was 29 and is buried at St. Micheals Lutheran Church near Bridgewater, Rockinghan County Virginia. If you are related to any of the above, then that would make us " shirt-tail" relatives.
