Here is the info on him on Wikitree 2022: "He was born about 1700 in Maryland to unknown. Joseph Benton married about 1724 in Maryland to Anne Walker. In 1748 parts of Baltimore County and Prince George's County went into the formation of Frederick County, Maryland. In 1776 Frederick County was divided into 3 parts - western portion became Washington County, southern portion became Montgomery County, northern portion remained Frederick County, Maryland, USA. Research Notes He could not have been born or married in Montgomery County, Maryland because it was not created until 1776. He is supposed to have resided there and if so, that would imply that he would have died after 1775. Baltimore County, Maryland was created on 12 Jan 1659. In March 1700 there was an older Joseph Benton who bought land from Edward Smith, being 212 acres called "Smith's Forest" in Baltimore County, Maryland.

Her maternal grandfather, Joseph Isacke or Isaac(s) emigrated from England, was married in England in 1671 and again in 1675 to Jane Margaret Beall.
