    3. I am searching for info on these two and trying to tie them in as children of John Benson and Lucinda Hite of Rockbridge Co., VA. William Benson m. Wilhelmina Scott 4/4/1839 in Rockbridge Co. On the 1850 Census for Rockbridge they are listed with 3 children Elizabeth A., Delila J., and Sarah M. By 1860 Census, William is living in Lawrence Co. OH with these 3 children plus George T. and William M. He remarried Nancy J. McDaniel (b. WVA) on 9/25/1860 in Lawrence Co., OH. They are listed in the 1870 census with William M., Marinda?, Leona?, and Charles. Then again in 1880 with these 4 plus James, Elizabeth, and Richard. Archibald Benson m.Elizabeth Scott 1/31/1839 in Rockbridge Co., VA. 1850 Census for Rockbridge lists them with 3 children, Phebe A., John W., and Sarah J. 1860 they are still in Rockbridge with these 3 plus Archibald Baily, and William Benson. 1870 Census for Lawrence Co., OH has them listed with Sarah J., Archibald B., and William. 1880 Census for same county shows Elizabeth Scott widowed and living alone. The next family listed is William Benson and Nancy McDaniel. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone? If so, I would love to hear from you. I would love to get my hands on the death info for Archibald & William in hopes of finding an obit. Donna
