Hi Katherine, Saw your message on SC Abbeville this morning and was just wondering if this Adam and Evan Benbow who married into a branch of my SC Green's are related to yours? Might you know where these Benbow's came to SC from? It is said that Aadam's father's name was Richard. I am not sure about Evan's father. (Evan's will at the end) I've had a devil of a time trying to figure out where my Green's and Ross' came to SC from. Loved your Benbow website! Audrey Descendants of Moses Green (son of Isaac Green.
