Hi Linda,
I agree with you about the similarities. I am pretty much stuck now. From the census Joel (Joseph) was born in MD but from the lack of online census I can go no further. I am not very good with the census that just have number of persons in the household but rather have the scanned type. I subscribe to several sites but they don't have the needed years completed yet.
There is a line of BENSON'S from NJ with the progenitor being a John BENSON. I don't know if a branch migrated to MD then on to PA.
The Oliver name is very rare along with the Perry name in the BENSON line. I'll keep an eye out for your folks.

At one time I have stumbled over an internet site that had the death index of MD but I cannot find that site now. If I had the death date for Joseph possibly I could send for death certificate if one exists or his will. I am not even sure what county Joseph was in or if he left and died along the way.
