Grace would have been a great grandchild to Anson and Lizzie. My research in the BENHAM family shows that the patriach, Anson, born about 1812 in Canada had a wife , Lizzie (Elizabeth) born in NY around 1820 as reported in the 1880 census. In the 1850 census, Anson and Lizzie are living in Jay and have the following children: John (ca 1831) Helen (ca 1832) childrens dates from 1850 census William (ca 1836) Marion (ca1840) Solomon (ca 1842) Sophronia (NY ca 1845) Jane (NY ca 1849) Thomas (NY ca 1851)* Almeda (NY ca 1856)* * Thomas and Almeda show up in the 1860 census. Also in 1850 in Moriah is Sarah (NY ca 1837) working outside on her own. I suspect that she’s another daughter of Anson and Lizzie. In 1880 Anson and Lizzie have moved to Wilmington. Son, Solomon (NY ca 1847) and wife Addie (NY ca 1853) are also living in Jay with their children: Almon (NY ca1880) son Ella M. (NY ca1873) dau Son, Thomas (NY ca 1856) has moved to North Elba living separately from his brother, John and his wife Marion (NY ca 1841); their children are: Hiram A. (NY b.1860) Jenny (NY ca 1863) dau Fannie (NY ca 1865) dau Kate (NY ca 1873) John D. (NY 1876) son Frank C. (NY 1876) son Either Jenny or Fannie married Martin Dewey and had one child Grace (1893 MT). Another family is also living in Jay: A.J. (NY ca 1838) and wife Jane (NY ca 1842) Cora (NY ca 1874) dau Frank (NY ca 1867) son? Ira (NY ca 1879) son Nellie (NY ca 1869) dau William (NY ca 1877) son Most likely this is another son of Anson and Lizzie.
