Question

My Benoni married Mary Eldred. Is this not the right wife?

Comments

Without more information on "your" Benoni, it's not possible to evaluate. Can you provide some information, such as documents or references, for the Benoni you're interested in? E.g., something indicating a birthdate/birthplace, an indication he married Mary Eldred, etc.

A quick scan of online trees indicates no agreement nor source citation about the last name of his wife.

Answer 1

It seems that you may be referring to Benoni Gardiner. The discussion found on Randall and Allied Families viewable at http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=wrandall&id=I2915 states that the claims of Mary Eldred as a wife for Benoni Gardiner may not be correct. The Gardiner Genealogy lists his wife as Mary _____. It appears that there are other possibilities for the last name of the Mary that married Benoni Gardiner.
