Biography

Benjamin was born about 1860. Did he have a middle name, or just a meaningless initial? (His father's name was Aaron, so that might explain the A.). The surname was written both Mathews and Matthews.

Benjamin married Hattie Mix on 8 October 1885 at Cleveland, Ohio. Records of some of his children suggest that he was born in Oakville, Ontario. The 1880 census at Cleveland confirms he was born in Canada, parents were Aaron Matthews and Caroline, surname unknown. The 1871 Canada census indeed shows an "Aron Matthews" born 1833 lived at Oakville, Ontario with wife Caroline and several children including Benjamin, age 11. But that census shows Benjamin had a middle initial H. - again no indication whether it stood for anything at all. (Or maybe the initial was A. but misread as H because of the handwriting?)

No record of Benjamin's death has been found.
