I am so in hopes someone reading this will have knowledge of Benjamin's
father Thornton Kenyon--where in VA was he born? who were his parents? were
there other children. I'm stuck in deep mud here! Need more information on
Benjaman's family also. If anyone is researching this family, I'd be happy
to exchange information
