As a descendant of Benjamin H. Cruzan, I have in my possession an original land grant which was given to Benjamin F. Cruzan, the son of the original Benjamin Cruzan, the Revolutionary War soldier.This deed was handed down in our family from Benjamin H. Cruzan to his daughter Laura Jane to her daughter Mae to Mae's daughter Dorothy.Benjamin H. Cruzan was a minister, teacher, doctor and inventor.He was also the executor of his father Benjamin F. Cruzan's estate.We have copies of the original estate papers which are in the Marshall County Historical Society.Among those papers are various documents from his siblings in their own handwriting handing administration of the estate to Benjamin H.The will, of which we also have a copy, also includes the names of Robert and Mary Ann Cruzan, the two oldest children of Benjamin F. Cruzan and his wife Sarah Bell McMickle.Benjamin H. was born in 1813, according to the daughter's Bible, in the possession of our family, as well.We've got the proof that Benjamin H. Cruzan was indeed the son of Benjamin F. Cruzan.
