Benton Flack (b.1827 d.1900). According to the 1880 census Alice was not living with her parents in Geneva, Walworth, Wis. on a farm, and in 1900 she was living with her husband Smith Morrison (b.1856 d.unknown) and daughter Mabel Morrison (b.1891 d.1946 in Elkhorn, Wis. It was told when I was a child and got diabetes that one of my grandmother's was adopted and that is why we do not show diabetes in our family history. John and Ellen Flack moved to Wisconsin in 1844 with Ellen's parents Daniel Smithson Benton (b. 1801 d.1855) and Sarah Marie Adams Benton (b.1808 d.1849) and lived on the farm with Ellen's parents. I thought that the courthouse might have past adoption papers from that time, like they keep birth certificates. Thank you for any information. Jane
