I will try to answer any questions you have. I donated a copy of my uncle's compilation of the family to The Canadiana Department, Ontario Genealogical Society, North York Public Library. Have you seen this, "The Descendants of John and Mary Kingsborough Benson" by Robert G. Espie? 
John and Mary were parents of:
Frederick William Benson b. 18 Apr 1875
Charles Annesley Benson b. 15 Feb 1878
Ellen Leona Benson b. 31 Mar 1883
Carrie Anderson Benson b. 29 Oct 1884 [my grandmother]
Norman Allen Benson b. 17 Jul 1893

I just came upon this entry and was quite surprised. I must be that lady you were in contact with as my
mother was Emily Jane Scarlett born 1897 at
Drumboghena. All that history is correct, however
she married Nat McLean born Ballycastle in 1891. He descended from Robert and Jane Taggart's son James
who married 1831 to Rose McAfferty. They had at
least 3 children - John, Jane and Roseann. As far as I can learn James Taggart and his wife never left Ireland.
Roseann was my great grandmother. I have the family
history from there forward.

[needy]

I descend from Robert and Jane Taggart. Their son
James married Rose McAfferty in 1831 at Dervock
Presbyterian church.  They had 3 known children
John, Jane and Roseann my great grandmother.
I have Roseann's family down to the present.
Jane married a Lyons but I don't know about John
or if there were other children

Hi all,
        I am trying to find out more about James Taggart. He was Born in about 1813 in Ballymena, He married Rosetta Mccafferty In about 1833 in Ireland,
They had at least one son John He was married in Scotland in 1848.

Any help would be appreciated

  My great great grandparents were James Taggart (born c 1811) and Rose McAfferty. They were born in the Parish of Billy, not Ballymena and married in the Dervock Presbyterian Church. You have connected them to the wrong Taggart family.They moved to Scotland circa 1841 with their children which included John, Jane and Rose Ann my great grandmother. Another daughter was born in Scotland. They both died in Scotland.
