Susie ?, b. 1851 Ohio, was married in 1878 to Joshua Benton (possibly in Missouri). They lived in Missouri until 1902 according to Civil War pension papers. By 1907, Susie is a widow and she has filed papers again for Civil War pension but this time from Oklahoma. They had 9 children with only 4 living in 1900. Alpha Benton, b. 1879; Arnissa, b. 1884; Harrison (Harry) & Cleveland, b. 1893; all in Missouri. In the 1920 census it lists Susie Benton as the head of the household at age 69, Glenn E. Benton, 13, grandson, William, 11, grandson, & Harry Benton, 27, son (single, these boys are his nephews). There is no information about the other children. I would like any information about these people. Joshua is the eldest brother to my gg-grandfather, Thomas Benton. I have lots of information to share. Thanks so much, Gwendolyn Prater Dalseg
