  1. I have whqat appears to be some conflicting information
    You show:


    2-Joseph Bennight b. Abt 1831
    Wife: Unknown


    3-Mary Bennight b. Abt 1854


    3-John A. Bennight b. Abt 1858


    3-James J. Bennight b. Abt 1861


    3-Carey A. Bennight b. Abt 1866



    I have wife of Joseph as Sara A. Bennight (Ward) (c.1838 - d.) but the only child I match info with is Carey.(but spelled Carrie).

    Children I show are
    George Bennight, Seth Michael Bennight, Sallie Bennight, Joseph Wortham Bennight, Carrie Bennight and Thomas Howard Benton Bennight.

  2. Hi Jim. Thanks for writing. I agree with you. There is a family of Joseph Bennight on a census I'm posting today with the names as you listed them, plus Jerome. We might have more than one Joseph Bennight from that era.
