Benson	I have a copy of a bible record for Bensons in Co Meath which starts with Thomas and Mary first child born in 1704. There are no wives surnames (mostly Mary!) The family moved to Dublin about 1820 and were mostly silk weavers and organ builders. They were members of the C of I. Would be overjoyed to meet any interested people Margaret Carlson Grand Rapids Michigan	mjcarls@iserv.net
Benson	The family of Samuel Benson (1787-1853) (farmer) and Charlotte Walker (1783-1861) came from Summerhill and then Rathmolyon. They emigrated to Australia in 1841 on the 'Earl Grey' which sailed from Plymouth. They had 6 children, David (1813- ), James (1817-1905); born Summerhill, Thomas (1819-1873); born Summerhill , Charlotte (1820- );born Rathmolyon, Anne Jane(1823 - ); born Rathmolyon and Louisa (1825-1860); born Rathmolyon. It appears that David did not emigrate to Australia with them. They were sponsored to Australia by William Walker and their calling was gardener, dairy maid, house servant. I am interested in finding out about these towns and also anyone who may have information about these families. Charlotte Walker's parents were named David and Anne and she also wasborn in County Meath.	embrace@locall.aunz.com
Bergin	Upon my Mothers recent burial, I also visited a Small Catholic cemetary in Paulding Mississippi. [Jasper County] My maternal grandparents and great-grandparents are buried there. The surnames that I would like to add are Bergin and Brogan. Patrick Peter Bergin's tombstone states that he was born in County Meath on Oct. 1, 1796. His Wife Mary is buried beside him and his brothers are also buried at the foot of his grave. These are my mother's grandparents,but there are also many other old tombstones there of folks who came from County Meath. There are still several Bergin families is this tiny community.
