Beneke from (1857) Wartsburg, Morgan Co., Tennessee
Fredrick Fritz Benegar left 3 children oprhans in Wartsburg. We have been told this was a township established by Germans for Germans & he was a piano maker.We do not know the name of his wife, or the name of other children.These were the oprhans:
Charles Irvin (b. 1849 ... stayed in TN, changed his name to Benedict), Joseph Levis (b. 1853 ... name changed to Benegar & migrated with the Duprees to Arkansas) & Anna Amselea (b.abt 1854.Assigned to Elizabeth Kriss or Kries - unknown what happened to her).
