The information below represents sightings that we believe refer to Benjamin (the Immigrant) and his line and other events that shaped their lives. The first column, "Gen", refers to the generation. Benjamin (the Immigrant) is Gen # 1, his sons are Gen # 2, etc. Because many names were repeated generation after generation, some of the Gen #s have had to be an educated guess. If you believe any to be incorrect, email me.
