Benton/Rogers - Massachusetts
I am looking for information on the descendants of Willena (or Willemina) Rogers, the daughter of Samuel T. and Harriet Rogers. She was born in either Pugwash, Nova Scotia or Moncton, New Brunswick, in 1865.
She was married, date unknown (but prior to 1891), to an Everett C. Benton. He is said to have been in the insurance business and was possibly a Colonel in the US armed forces. By 1892, they were living in the Boston area and, in 1925, were said to be residing in Belmont, Mass. The only references I have to any children come from the obituaries of Willemina's parents, which mention a daughter, Mrs. Collins, as well as a son, J. R. Benton, who in 1925 was listed as the Attorney-General of Massachusetts.
Any information at all on Willena Rogers and Everett C. Benton and their descendants would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan MacDonald
