Your postings have revealed good things to me.I am a great granddaughter of Samuel Benton, of present day Coward, SC, Florence County; he and his brother Lewis were Civil War artillerymen, and I know their war service in great detail. Their father was Moses D.M. Benton, and I wonder what the D.M. was about?The father of Moses was Robert, who married Susannah Brown in Hillsborough Dist., (Wake Cty) NC; my Moses was apparently born in NC, and the family came down to the Florence County (Wmsburgh District) area maybe between 1795 and 1800, tho I dont have my papers with me.Thank you for "confirming" the Joseph Lewis Benton link for me.See my recent posting about the destroyed cemetery.
