I don't have much but if the son (vi) below is Benjamin Banfill sr., then I have a Sarah "Sally" Mills b. Feb. 6, 1782 Corinth that married Samuel Hall on Dec. 28, 1800 Newbury, and then #2 Benjamin Banfill. Benjamin's son Benj. m. Sarah Place on June 13, 1842 Potton, Que. My line is the Mills side so this is about it.
