In the 1900 census for Bug Hill Twp., NC, lists Clarky L. Benten, born Oct 1873 in SC married to William K. Benton, born July 1868. They were listed as being married 6 years. Lizzie A. Benten was a daughter listed as 5 yrs old born in December 1894 in NC. There was at that time also a son, Jesse M. Benten, 1 yr. old, born Aug 1898. Sarah Elizabeth Tyler, age 54, was living with them at that time, born in Oct 1845 in SC. That's all I have, except that William was a farmer. At that time though almost everyone was in that part of the country. Almost all my relatives even now that still live there are farmers. I know that census stuff, even death certs, can be misleading so I hope that we have a link somewhere. (Don't let that death cert comment rattle you, I just found out that what I thought was Sarah's death cert wasn't after having it 2 years. SC did the best that they could based on the little info I had.)
