Hi, Everyone. I am new on here, But just had to comment. I am also related. Through General Robson Benson, he was my Great great great grandfather (hope thats enough greats )
I have been searching for the Benson family for several years now. Last year i hit the jackpot and have been handed heaps of info thro my mums aunt. also it confirmed all I searched is correct, bonus. I have a will of Sarah Benson, havent sat and worked out which one yet tho. Been busy trying to id a photo??!!  Also given letters couple Birth, death, baptist certificates etc and have Diarys James ( Hamish ) Benson wrote. They had me in stitches!!! i now know why most of my family are slightly... strange hahaha.
 Anyone following the Benson Simpson Chapman Walker trail, knows how confusing it can be and sooo addictive! I love the Bensons lol.

I got real buzz reading everyones posts. My partner found you all and emailed me. I will read thro again because i skimmed over to get to message box! Think i saw few things i didnt know about.
                               Thank You all
