Ted: Good to hear from you. I think I can help. I have just recently returned from a trip to Wallace, NS and area (Malagash, Oxford, Wentworth etc.)where I visited several of my ancestors gravesites - there's lots of them there with the exception of Old Benjamin (b. 1739) - Charlotte knows how hard it has been to track him down!
Any way, Charles Banks Betts is listed in the 1871 census of Cumberland Co. along with his wife Permilla. I have him as the son of Alexander Betts (also listed in the census) and wife Susan. Alexander (b.Nov 2, 1843) was the eldest son of Benjamin Jr. (b. 1788)and his third wife Martha Dickinson (b. april 23, 1823). Perhaps Alex's middle name was Stuart? Ben reportedly had 21 children by 3 wives and Martha was number 3.
Ben is buried in Riverside Cemetery, Middleboro, NS as is his second wife Agnes Nancy Reid. Number 1 (Abigail) was buried near Kerr's Mill Bridge, Wallace River. Not sure where Martha "resides".
Ben Jr. was of course the son of Ben Sr.
Ben Jr.'s Brother William (whose grave I found in Wallace) was my ggg grandfather via Joseph, Silas, Richard, William Sterling (my father) and then me.
I have a lot of info on the family - contact me and I will send you a file of Benjamin's descendents. I would be interested in all the info you have on the family as well. My database is extensive but I would like to fill in more on your branch. It seems that you do have a connection to
Charlotte.... if you see this.... I could not find the gravesite of your ancestor Jacob or his son Jacob Henry. I did find 3 of Jocob Henry's brothers however in the Steven Cemetery in Lower Wentworth.
