• Notes

  Issue, jt: "Potter BENSON, and his brother Daniel, came to Ceres in 1832. He married Henrietta GILBERT, daughter of Robert and Mary GILBERT. He was a farmer and owned a farm about a mile above town, where his wife still lives with her youngest son. Potter BENSON was a good citizen, honorable in all his dealings, and a truly good man. He left four daughters and one son. One son had died for his country during the rebellion. His oldest daughter is the widow of Justus Rice, of Eldred. She has four children living (pub. 1896). - One of her sons was drowned the past winter, and was brought to Myrtle, making the fifth generation of his mother's people buried there. - The second daughter is the wife of G.W. Lewis, of Vineland, and has eleven children. - The third daughter, Elizabeth, is the wife of Rowland R. Bell. She has eight children; - his son, Brice B., has five, and - the youngest daughter, Harriet, wife of Alvah HALL, of Allegany, has three. Few have left a larger circle of descendants, and if they prove as worthy as they now give fair promise of being, his name will long be honored through them. His wife is now in her eighty-second and shows the infirmities of age."
