Biography

Research Notes

• The 1830 Census shows only one John Benton in Monroe County, Georgia. It is likely this John's father.

• His marriage record gives his middle initial as "H," but the merged profile had "Wilson." More records are needed.

• The 1860 Census shows a 16-year-old James Hunt living in John and Phebe's household. No relationship is given.

• The 1870 Census shows two apparently unrelated people: George Thomas (age 13) and Retta Saunders (age 40). Their occupations are listed as "Farm labor."
