• Notes

  Edward owned a plantation in Maryland, the same state where he was born. In the 1820 FREDERICK CO MD, the following members were sorted in his family: "1m 26-45; 1f -5; 1f 16-26". He did not agree with Maryland's slave laws and therefore, moved to Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania, and then to Knox and Belmont County, Ohio. According to the "History and Biography, 20th Century History of Delaware Co., Ohio", Edward Willett Benton moved to Knox Co., OH after 1824 and then to Delaware Co., OH in 1829. This isn't quite right, as Edward is in the 1830 census for Belmont Co. Ohio with the following family members: "1 male age 5-10; 1 male age 10-15; 1 male, age 40-50 and 1 female, age 30-40. He is in the 1850 Census record in Scioto Twp., Delaware Co., Ohio, page 273: "BENTON, Edward W age 66 b. MD farmer, Matilda age 46 b. MD, Catherine age 20, Rebecca age 17, Mary Jane age 14, Erasmus age 12, Nancy age 7.....all born in Ohio He disappears from the 1860 census records onward. (CL-488) He, a few family members and descendants are buried at NEWHOUSE CEM, DELAWARE, Ohio: Edw W 1782 - 7/30/1868, Matilda 8/27/1868, Benj T 1824 - 8/25/1906, Mary K 1825 - 1/7/1901, J R 1855 - 5/13/1916, Eva 1860 - 1/21/1939, and Chas B 1/9/1863 - 1/23/1941.
