Hi, anyone heard of Joshua Benson?
Joshua1 Benson was born in Ireland 25 Dec 1774. Joshua
died about 1844 at age unknown.
"The name of "Benson", according to
Peter O. Benson, (Grandfather), is an old English one, He,
Peter, also said that his Grandfather, Joshua Benson, was born
in Ireland, and was born Dec. 25, 1774; he married Elinor
Thomas, born Mar. 11, 1777. The Bensons first located near
Philadelphia Pa., then moved to Union Springs, N.Y., and later
in the early 1800s came to Ontario County, and settled on a
farm, on either the New Michigan Road, or the N. Bloomfield
Road."
will share with interested parties,
Thanks,
