Hi Sharon,

If you are looking for Bennie's siblings and their descendants, were you
able to get his obituary? It might be in the Benton County Record for
1973, and you can probably get the newspaper on microfilm via Interlibrary
Loan at your local library.

I haven't followed up my Stevensons to know whether he might be related to
mine. I'm still trying to find out what happened to my William Stevenson
who moved to Kansas. He was still alive for the 1860 census, but isn't on
1870. I wonder whether he got killed by bushwhackers and jayhawkers
during the War, or maybe he just died of old age, since he was 68 years
old in 1860. I didn't find a cemetery record for him.
