I have been searching since June 1979. My Benner was from Maryland according to census records of Knox county Missouri. My Benner was: Elizabeth (No maiden name known) Benner, b. Md. about 1789 or 1790. Her husband's name is not known. They had these four boys:
My family was found on the 1840 Lewis co. Missouri census as the earliest record of them being in Mo. I don't know if there were daughters or not, but there could be. All the sons were married in Mo. from 1845 to 1855. No records were kept by this family that I know of.
Please contact me if you are related, or have any information that could help. Thanks!
