• Notes

  Benson Book (BENSON Book) Stutson, Jr. was a carpenter and millwright and worked at his trade. In the early days before the hills were stripped of trees, there were several mill streams in Oondaga and Madison counties; the town of Pompey had at least six saw mills, and oil mill, and several grist mills and the adjoiing town of Cazenovia probably had as many. Our tradition is that the brothers built a large barn for General Samuel Sherwood the first year, for which they received one hudred acres of land, and Stutson, Jr was the only one of them who had the skill to frame a barn. He must have returned to the eastern part of the state, no returning to Pompey for several years. The record of deeds shows that in 1808 he bought land in Pompey and is described as "of Pompey". He sold this land to his brother William in 1815 and then "of Cazenovia". It is known that he was building mills in the central western part of the state for several years, and built mills and also owned one in the Genessee Valley, but his family may have lived in Pompey and Cazenovia. He bought land in Ashtabula county, OH in 1820, but did not settle on it then, though some of his sons may have done so. Ursula Martin, daughter of Eri, remembered of hearing that "while living in Pompey" her grandmother took the twins [Eri and Evi] to Cazenovia to see a hanging, and the only execution of the times was that of the Indian, Antone in the fall of 1823, so they must have settled in Ohio after 1823. Their tradition of the Battle of Bennington is that Stutson, Sr. lived on or near the battlefield, at Waloomsac and that Stutson, Jr. then 10 years old, was taken prisoner by the Indians while carrying drinking water to the patriot soldiers, and was taken to Canada, but was later released because of his youth, and made his way home, suffering great hardship ad nearly starving on the way. From an entirely different source we have learned that Bathsheba and her son, William, had searched on the battlefield, presumably for this missing boy. He is described as a small man, light hair, blue eyes of an active and determined disposition and great endurance.

Turns out that a relative of a Jennie Benson's, is a Reverend Ned H. Benson, and he has done an extensive genealogical review of the Benson clan at: http://www.familyorigins.com/users/b/e/n/Ned-H-Benson/FAMO1-0001/index.htm Compact Disc #102 Pin#975605 Personal information: Carpenter and millwright. Other events: Census 1800 - 1840 in Pompey & Fabius, Onondaga County, NY. As far as I can tell, no LDS ordinances have been done, so I am taking it upon myself to copy the information into my computer to have the work done for the ancestors of Jennie Emmaline Benson's family line. 2-21-2007 !Benson Famiy Records by F.E.
