Yes, this is the correct family. I do have some of this same data - but was hoping to expand and locate children of Alice (Benton) Wells. Overall I am looking for ways through a brick wall: the parents of Franics Ren (Wren) Benton - which is Alice's father. He was born in Missouri 1836 and married Susan Margaret Lock in Barry CO, MO in 1859. He was in the Confederate Army - but his military records did not prove fruitful. I have taken a trip to Collin CO Texas - and rummaged through a few grave yards - but did not locate him or Susan. I have also been searching for the children of Thomas Hart Benton (yes, I am certain of the Hart). Thomas married Sallie Scott and moved to Texas. Thomas had the following children: Alice, Thelma, WIllie, Mary, Varney, JT. Alice, Thelma and WIllie were born in Texas; Mary, Varney and JT were born in Oklahoma. Are you also researching the Benton's - or just a very nice samartan??

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: McMahan, Ross, Burkett, Reeder Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1hB.2ACE/1517 Message Board Post: I am looking for more information on Matilda. She was born Matilda C Ross in August of 1841. She died in Lamar County in August of 1925 and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Honey Grove, Fannin County. I know that she was first married to Levi Burkett. She is found with him in the 1880 census in Scott County, Arkansas. But on her death certificate and tombstone it lists her as Matilda Ross McMahan. So she must have married again after Levi's death, but I don't know to who or if she had any children from her second marriage. Can anyone help? Her daughter, Mary Elizabeth Burkett, married William Marion Reeder. They lived in and around Honey Grove. From what I understand, William bought and sold real estate. Mary and William are my great-great grandparents.
