Another follow up to this.I've since done a pretty extensive search of everything at the courthouse here in Pike County, and have turned up NOTHING on Benjamin.I can only find a Charles Benjamin Burris's discharge papers from the US Navy around WW2 time.May be a relative, etc., nothing listed of his parents.Wasn't uncommon back then to name a son with both grandfather's names, or one of them, etc.Your Benjamin could have been a grandfather of his.Interestingly, nothing else existed on Charles Benjamin.He probably relocated after the war, there was no marriage record or anything on him, he was a torpedoman for the Navy.
I will keep searching best I can, it would help me some if you could share with me more about what you know about him other than his marriage and children's names.Feel free to email me.
