| Notes |
- !Birth: Tombstone, 1850 Pike Co.. MO Census, Thomas BENN (SON). !Death: Tombstone. !Marrage: BIRTHDATE of OLDEST CHILD FROM 1850 Pike Co.. MO Census. Thomas BENN.
HE CAME FROM BOURBON Co.. Kentucky. HE AND A Benjamin BENN WERE IN TAX LISTS THERE FROM 1797 AND 1795 RESPECTIVELY. THEY WERE TAXED ON THE SAME DAY SOME YEARS BUT NOT IN OTHERS. Benjamin AND Samuel WERE TAXED THERE UNTIL 1818. IN ADDITION
THERE WAS John IN 1815 AND 1816, WM AND Charles IN 1818 AND Thomas IN 1820. I SUSPECT THAT Benjamin'S WIFE'S NAME WAS Sarah AS THERE WAS A WOMAN HEAD of HOUSEHOLD BY THAT NAME IN THE 1830 Pike Co.. MO Census. SHE WAS AGED 50 TO 60 (BORN
1770-80). Benjamin May HAVE BEEN Samuel'S brother. HE DIED IN Ralls Co... THE Samuel BENN JR. IN 1830 Census May HAVE BEEN HIS SON. THIS Samuel WAS STILL THERE IN 1850. HE GAVE HIS BIRTHPLACE AS Kentucky IN 1803. HIS WIFE WAS Mary A. AGE 36 BORN
KY, AND CHILDREN; Nathan AGE 16 BORN MO John AGE 14, Nancy AGE 12, William AGE 1O AND Mary AGE 8. ALL of THESE CHILDREN WERE BORN IN Missouri. THEY WERE VERY CLOSE NEIGHBORS TO Mary BENN Campbell AND her sister Nancy BENN FORD DONOVAN. Samuel
WAS VERY WELL TO DO, OWNING SEVERAL HUNDRED ACRES of LAND AND SEVERAL SLAVES. HIS SON CORBIN WAS IN THE 1880 Census. HE GAVE HIS FATHER'S BIRTHPLACE AS Kentucky BUT THIS IS DOUBTFUL AS CORBIN'S brother Thomas WAS BORN IN Virginia. IT IS LIKELY
THAT Samuel WAS BORN IN Virginia. THERE ARE Records of MEN NAMED BENN IN Virginia Colony AS FAR BACK AS THE 1650S. IT IS A VERY UNCOMMON NAME. IT May HAVE SOMETIMES BEEN MISPELLED AS BEAN. I SUSPECT NANSEMOND, LATER SUFFOLK, AS HIS BIRTHPLACE.
THERE WERE ALSO SEVERAL BENN FAMILIES IN RALLS AND Marion COUNTIES IN LATER YEARS. THEY WERE PROBABLY RELATED. THERE ARE SUPPOSEDLY ESTATE ADMINISTRATION Records FOR A Benjamin BENN IN Ralls Co.. MO THIS May BE Samuel'S brother. Samuel AND
Catherine ARE BURIED IN PENO TWP ON THE FARM of Paul LAMBERSON IN PENO TWP IN Pike Co... THIS FARM IS ON Co.. ROAD B ABOUT 2 MILES East of HIGHWAY 61. THE FARM IS ABOUT A MILE NORTH of RTE B UP A DIRT ROAD. DRIVE UP THIS ROAD UNTIL YOU REACH THE
FARM HOUSE. THE CEMETERY Will BE ON YOUR LEFT ABOUT 100 YARDS, ACROSS A SMALL CORRAL AND DOWN THE FENCE LINE of A FIELD ON THE OTHER SIDE. THERE ARE TWO OLD CEDAR TREES THAT Mark THE CEMETERY. ALL of THE STONES ARE DOWN BUT Samuel AND Catherine'S
ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. THE GRANDFATHER of MIKE WEAVER TOOK ONE of THESE STONES DOWN LEST IT BE BROKEN. THE OTHER WAS ALREADY DOWN FOR SOME REASON. Paul LAMBERSON IS ALSO A DESCENDENT of THE BENNS AND CAMPBELLS IN THIS CEMETERY.
