"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."

History of the 150th PA Infantry Co. G, Civil War
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTIETH REGIMENT, P. V. I.
The One Hundred and Fiftieth Regiment (New Bucktails) effected organization at Camp Curtin September 3, 1862, and claims service with the One Hundred and Forty-ninth, sharing in many, if not all, of the successes and reverses of that command. Langhorne Wistar, of the old Forty-second, was chosen colonel; H. S. Huidekoper, lieutenant-colonel, and Thomas Chamberlin, major. When the colors of the One Hundred and Forty-ninth Regiment were captured at Gettysburg, they were recaptured at once by the sister regiment, and later, when it became too evident that the President was to be sacrificed to the policy of the Confederacy, the authorities called on Col. Stone to assign two companies of the One Hundred and Fiftieth to take the place of the United States troops as President's guard at the Soldiers' Home. On the arrival of Companies C and H there, they would not be received, as the regulars had no orders to retire, and so returned to their command. In the meantime orders came relieving the regular troops, who marched, leaving the Home unguarded; but when these false steps were discovered Companies D and K were ordered thither, while later Company D was ordered to guard the Soldiers' Home with Company A, leaving Company K to guard the place until relieved in June, 1865, when it was mustered out with the other companies.
Company G, of this command, was raised in McKean county with Horatio Bell, captain. He was killed at the battle of the Wilderness May 6, 1864, and Lieut. Samuel R. Beckwith, commissioned captain, who served until musterout.
