Hello friends,
I just received a copy of a death certificate for a James H. Benson of Cecil
Co. who died aged 63 in 1899. The certificate states that his parents were
James H. Benson and Louisa S. Saulnier and that his wife (still living) was
Sarah E. Benson. Also there were 3 living children at the time of his death.
Does anyone have any access to information about theses families or where
can I find such information?
Census lookups? Marriage records? Etc.
Would there be an obit in the Cecil Whig? If so, how do I find a copy of
that?

Thanks so much,
Will Brown
