    Tanya,
    Can you clarify Benjamin's lineage for me? Are these all his children? I am of this lineage and trying to confirm my information with yours. I have Benjamin having Burgess and Burgess having Dudley.. Can you help me?

  2. Sheeplady,
    I don't have anyway of getting in touch with you so I hope you come back and read this. Give me your email address and I'll get you in touch with the Stone Family Group. This group is for all descendants of Benjamin. Not sure if all my info on here is correct off the top of my head, I know there's alot of speculation when it come to Benjamin and his wife(s). The children are correct though. I hope you will check this and get back in touch with me!
