My Benn Ancestry

The following is my "best guess" at my Benn ancestry. My mother's paternal grandmother was Nancy Benn. She married John M. Eaton in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, in 1846. I have searched for her ancestors for many years. Listed below is my Benn "family tree" as best I can determine it to be. If you, the reader, see listings that you question, or know to be untrue, please, do let me know. I have very few documents to verify any of the following. You will find links to documents prepared many years ago. They are primarily the result of deductions pondered over by the compilers. Perhaps, somewhere, there is someone, who has been carefully recording Benn births, marriages, and deaths for the last two centuries in this country. Probably not, but it WOULD be nice wouldn't it? Let us each resolve to preserve our family's history today, and save many hours of research and disappointment for future researchers.
