James Benefiel
I am looking for information on James Benefiel who was in Highland,Vermillion County, Indiana in 1850 wife wife Catherine and two sons, William 5 years old and Daniel 2 years old. Also living in the house is William Berry and his widowed mother Catherine. William Berry married my second great grand aunt Almira Jane Benefiel, Daughter of William Benefiel and Mary Hunt. I am trying to figure out who James was to Almira? Possibly a brother. After the 1850 census, I have been unable to locate James and family. There is mention of a James Benefiel in the book, "Biographical and Historical Record of Vermillion county" as a Unity Lodge Member No. 114. Is this the same James?
Please contact me with any information on the Benefiels of Vermillion County Indiana.
