I'm a Benson too, but haven't been very successful in finding out more than I already knew from random bits of family history. Have you run across a William T.

Joseph Horace Benton was the name of a voice teacher of mine at the University of Oklahoma in the late 1960's. His family came to Oklahoma from Missouri, where his father was in the lumber business, went broke, had a nervous breakdown. Thus the move to a simple life in Oklahoma. Joe was born about 1900. He sang tenor at the Metropolitan Opera and at La Scala in Italy. He was in Italy around WWII and changed his name to Guiseppi Bentonelli because the Italians thought the name Benton was French an

Jacque-Lynne, I know you weren't asking specifically about "This Was Chesapeake Bay," but I checked the book's index for Alward Johnson and the "Virginia Dare," and didn't find anything too promising. The closest thing I found was one reference to a "Mr. Johnson." The book discusses a booklet written by a seaman who had worked on the "Ann E. Hooper" in 1857, and who, in the booklet, identifies "Mr. Johnson" as having been the "Hooper's" mate. I'm sorry I didn't find more! Dave Kearney ----- Original

I've lived in Salisbury since 1935 and the only chocolate drink I can think of was the chocolate Zip that we used to get at Gordy's Drugstore. It was milk mixed with chocolate syrup over little shivers of ice and made at the soda fountain. It must have been local as well because I asked for one in Philadelphia once and they didn't know anything about it. Gordy's also made good bon bons too.
