Edward owned a plantation in Maryland, the same state where he was born. In the 1820 FREDERICK
CO MD, the following members were sorted in his family; "1m26-45; 1 f-5; 1f 16-26".
He did not agree with Maryland's slave laws and therefore, moved to Phillipsburg, PA and then to Knox and Belmont CO, OH. According to the "History and Biography, 20th Century History of Delaware Co., Ohio", Edward Willett Benton moved to Knox Co., OH after 1824 and then to Delaware Co., OH in 1829. This isn't quite right, as Edward is in the 1830 census for Belmont Co., OH with the following family members: "1 male age 5-10; 1 male age 10-15; 1 male age 40-50 and 1 female age 30-40. He is in the 1850 Census record in Scioto Twp., Delaware Co., Ohio, page 273: "BENTON, Edward W. age 66 b MD farmer, Matilda age 46 b. MD. Catherine age 20, Rebecca age 17, Mary Jane age 14, Erasmus age 12, Nancy age 7....all born in OH. He disappears from the 1860 census records onward (CL-488)
He, a few family members and descendants are buried at Newhouse Cemetery, Delaware, OH; Edw W. 1782-7/30/1868, Matilda 8/27/1868, Benj T 1824-8/25/1906, Mary K 1825-1/7/1901, J R 1855-5/13/1916, Eva 1860-1/21/1939 and Chas B 1/9/1863-1-23-1941.
A lot of this line is buried in Delaware Cemeteries.

Hannah:

Born ABT 1790
Died 1812
PLAC: 22 years old
Reference number: 15777
Susianne Hollis conjectures that Hannah had a brother named Lewis and that they lived at a place called Sugar Mountain in Maryland from some Marland deeds (C-2235)
DAR records state that Hannah is the daughter of Benjamin Duvall, a Revolutionary War Soldier. However, the c1952 book entitled "Mareen Duvall of Middle Plationtion" by Harry Wright Newman supposedly lists her as one of the youngest daughter of Lewis Duvall and a Miss Welsh. In this 2nd care, she would have a brother named Lewis. In other words, this lineage needs to be careully reviewed.
