It would be helpful if you gave dates, such as you show Benjamin as a brother
of Benjamin (the last brother listed). This last brother (Benjamin) would have
then been born after 1829 when he died. However, this Benjamin could have been
a brother who died before your Benjamin was born in 1776.

Since you have him as Benjamin C. Westerfield (or is it Westervelt), he could
have been the son of a Cornelius or Jasper (Casparus). That's another reason
to list dates.

BTW if those of you who are in the digest mode with check your subject as that
is the way responses will come back. Please indicate the subject your are
