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.

Elmer Eli¹⁰ [P13671] = Mary Ann Thomas¹¹ [P13694] > Family [F4995]

Married BEF 1834
Elmer Eli:

Born 1815, , , , MD USA
Reference number: 15592
He and his wife were having chuldren by 1834 according to information from S. Hollis@@worldnet.att.net. However his age is listed at age 38 in an 1860 census, making his birthyear only 12 or 13 years previous to 1834. In the 1830 census for Belmont Co., OH he is likely the son who was age 10-15 years of age. I highly suspect that he was not having children by 1834.
