Notes

Note HI1365(Research):Based on the age of George and the age relationship of siblings, I am going to make the assumption that he may not be the child of Nancy Westlake and Robert Benson. Based on the Illinois death record that states his mother was Ruth Wilson, it is possible that Ruth is the mother and the father is from an earlier marriage of Ruth. Have been unable to gather proof of this.
Note NI1365The source "Birth & Death for George Christopher Benson" (ID 2420) states that Ruth Williams is the mother of George Christopher Benson and Robert Benson is the father. My latest theory is the George is the child of Ruth and her husband before Robert Benson.
