I know that Jerry and Brian have Benjamin Sr.’s birth place as Montgomery Co., MD, but I’m quite sure that when he was born it was still Frederick Co. (before that it was Prince George’s Co.), by the time he married Comfort that area had become Montgomery Co.

 

Now we have participants from two of Ben and Comfort’s sons. I hope that we can eventually have one descendant from each son but it won’t be easy. We have lost track of the other lines.

 

Pls let me know if you need more information.

 

Take care,

Karen
