Record for Isaac Benson
Isaac Benson
Birth: Jun. 8, 1817
Waterford, Erie County, Pennsylvania, USA
Death: Mar. 11, 1894
Coudersport, Potter County, Pennsylvania, USA
Isaac Benson married Euginia Laura Stebbins and had a son James B. Benson. They were a very successful family--both Isaac and son James well know lawyers. He married Euginia on December 14, 1857 in Coudersport. Son and only child James married Katherine Hodskin, the daughter of Albert Adams Hodskin and Celina Johnson (My great aunt). The family attended Christ Church, English Protestant Episcopal. Son James died mid 1890s leaving a wife and three young daughters.
In June, 1844, Isaac Benson was admitted at Warren, Penn., where he studied law under Struthers & Johnson, and has been in active practice down to the present time; he came, in 1845, to Coudersport, and has been one of the leading citizens of the borough. He is the senior lawyer of the old district, unless Henry Sherwood, of Wellsboro, may be considered so. Edward O. Austin, who studied under Mr. Benson, was admitted in 1848.
Benson, Isaac and Eugenia (Stebbins), a son James. Mr. Benson came to Coudersport as a young lawyer. He advanced rapidly in his profession and held many positions of trust, was elected to the Legislature and Senate, and was prominent in raising funds for the Civil War. He was taken on a bed to Harrisburg to vote for Simon Cameron; he acquire a goodly fortune, had a fine home, and he and his wife took an active part in all the interests of the town and its church and social life. Some of their descendants are still residents of the town. This old home is now part of the Coudersport Consistory building.
ISAAC BENSON, attorney at law, Coudersport, was born in Waterford, Erie Co., Penn., June 8, 1817. He became a student at the academy in his native town, and completed his studies at Warren, same State. Among the many classes of business which presented themselves for his consideration, none possessed the attractions of a profession, and being eminently qualified for the bar, both by literary acquirements and natural inclination, he entered, as a student, the office of Struthers, Johnson & Brown, prominent attorneys of Warren. He was admitted to the bar at that place in 1844, and first began the practice of law in the office of the firm just mentioned, where he remained for about one year. But the ambition of Mr. Benson was to find a wider field for his abilities, and June 11, 1845, he located at Coudersport, Potter Co., Penn., which presented itself to him as more suited to his progressive ideas. The immediate future of the place verified the accuracy of his judgment, and he soon acquired a proud position in the borough and vicinity. J. S. Mann, C. W. Ellis, L. F. Maynard and Wales Butterworth, all now deceased, were the first practitioners of Potter county, and were honorable and worthy competitors. Gradually, however, Mr. Benson found the number of his clients growing larger, his practice more remunerative, his popularity increasing, until in 1856 he was elected and served as member of the State legislature, and as State senator in 1859, both of which positions he filled with honor, winning the approval of his constituency. Early in the Civil war, his fidelity and ability being justly recognized, he received the appointment of paymaster, which he, however, declined, preferring to continue the practice of his chosen profession, the enjoyment of home life and his largely increased holdings, which required his constant care and supervision. Mr. Benson, in December, 1857, married Eugenie L., daughter of P. A. Stebbins, of Coudersport, and has one son, James B. Benson, who received a classical education, graduating from the University of Pennsylvania; he studied law with Wayne McVeigh, of Philadelphia, and was admitted to the bar in June, 1884. Hon. Isaac Benson still remains a member of the legal fraternity, enjoying the confidence and esteem of the citizens of Potter county, generally, and in the evening of his life finds himself crowned with honor, and in the enjoyment of the luxuries well-earned wealth affords.

Potter County Quilters
Any quilts that were in Potter County in the early 1800s would have been brought with the families and it was more likely that the settlers had woven blankets and coverlets in their possession. Early settlers here would have bartered hides or fur for cloth or would have set up a barn loom for weaving any wool traded for or raised. Early wills listed quilts and coverlets on the inventory of assets of the deceased and were passed down to daughters or granddaughters or sold to settle the estate. Unless a quilt has a signed or embroidered date or name, which is rare, quilts are usually dated by the cloth used, references to the quilt in a family record or diary and the patterns available in the time period.
photo: Clarrisa Booth Schollard, Margaret Allyne Schollard and Emma Nelson Booth.
The acquisition information taken from donor Gary Reynolds, great grandson of Clarissa, dates this quilt around 1874. Clarissa was living with her parents, Hugh and Emma Booth in Oswayo Township at that time and would have been about sixteen years old. It is a simple patchwork of prints of red, brown, blue and beige squares sewn together with a batting and backing.
Clarissa married John Schollard in 1879 and probably took this quilt with her. She and John raised a family of four children. She is shown seated on the left of her mother, Emma Nelson Booth and her Grand daughter, Margaret Allyne Schollard, mother of Gary Reynolds, the donor of the quilt. Clarissa was very active with the SDB Church in Hebron Center.

Katherine Hodskin Benson Reese
In June of 2016 the Historical Society was given a very generous donation of four quilts by Nancy Meyer and her husband Ernie from Savannah Georgia. Nancy is the great granddaughter of Katherine, most often known as Kittie. Kittie Hodskin was born in April 1865 in New York. Her parents, Albert A. and Celina Hodskin moved to Coudersport where he was a merchant. On December 3, 1884, Kittie married James Benson. Their wedding announcement in the Potter Enterprise reads like a who’s who of Coudersport and went on to name the quite expensive gifts received by the bride and groom. Living at the Benson estate, it would not have been necessary for Kittie to make quilts out of the need to keep her children warm. It would appear that quilt making was something Kittie did to fill her time when not attending social events. Her quilts are among the most preserved of those given to the museum. They probably did duty at the foot of the bed as extra covers if needed in the guest room. The oldest of the quilts based on the fabric is also the most worn. It may have been made for or by Kittie before her marriage and shows use. It is a blue and white quilt made in a Double Irish Chain pattern. The other three quilts represent popular patterns in ladies magazines, in fact the Tulip Pattern has been found online from one of those publications. It is an appliqué quilt that demonstrates Kittie’s adept needle skills. Another quilt, a peach and white quilt is made in a negative/positive pattern also known as a “Rob Peter to Pay Paul” pattern that was called “Boston Puzzle”. This would also have been a popular magazine pattern. The third quilt may have been made for her daughters and could have been on a bed in their room. It is a very colorful pin wheel pattern in bright yellows and orange.
Perhaps because of her affluent status there are several photographs of Kittie.
Kittie and James Benson had three daughters, Eugenia Celina, Francis Adele and Eloise. James died in May of 1897. Kittie married Dr. Frances Gurney Reese, a dentist in 1899 and had one more child, Albert.
Kiittie died in March of 1951. These four quilts were passed down in the family through Eugenia and onto her daughter Francis and on to her daughter, Nancy, who most graciously donated them. All of the quilts are either over or close to one hundred years old, and are in fine condition.
