They are living in Milan in Gibson Co on the 1880 census. As is his mother and step father--Thomas R. Benton and Avis Ann Hopper Benton. Merida and Tennesee would have had two of their 8 children livinig with them, Emily T. and Fannie E. Hopper. Tennessee died in 1911. I would appreciate any information on them.
