Posted on: Carroll Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Carroll/11697 Surname: MCCAULEY, MCAULEY, BENTON ------------------------- Greg, There most likely is a connection between your Daniel and my Jeanette MCCAULEY/MCAULEY. Jeanette m John BENTON before 1800, they resided in Montgomery Co., NC about 1810 thru about 1832 when they removed to Carroll Co., TN, then abt 1851 they removed to Hendricks Co., IN to reside with their son Clark Lilley BENTON who in 1838 at age 18 attended Bloomington Academy in Hendricks Co., IN. Jeanette and John are buried in the Pittsboro Cemetery, White Lick Baptist Church, Middle Twp., Hendricks Co., IN. So, Clark BENTON could have gone to Bloomington Academy at the beaconing of his relative, your Daniel MCAULEY. I still do not know anything about Jeanette's parents or siblings. I have an idea that possibly Jeannette's family first went to Orange Co., NC as there are many MCCAULEY/ MCAULEY's there and I have found some possible clues, but this is only an asumption. Questions: Do you know what towns your MCAULEY's resided in Montgomery Co., NC and Carroll Co., TN? Do you have any information on the Bloomington Academy? Marcia Hardesty
