Hi...I saw your post.Hope you can help.I live in Marion Co., WV.We have a small community here on the Tygart Valley River called Benton's Ferry.I have been researchingthe Benton's here & keep coming up short.No births.Nothing in the census books & no land transfers. Who were they? No one knowns anything about them in our county's history. Judging from the names of the operators of the ferry across the river.....they disappeared somewhere around 1860. (Just before the Civil War). There is a Bentonville in Virginia (which I'm try to connect, somehow).Do you know anything about this town just south of Front Royal, VA? Are they the one's you refer to as going south?
