Elizabeth Bennington/ James Crail

marabal — 13 Jun 2007 8:42:23 GMT

Looking for information on James Crail born about 1760 who married Elizabeth Bennington in 1780 in Fleming County, Kentucky I think. Elizabeth was born about 1765 or 1769 in Harford, Maryland. They had five children that I know of, Sarah, William, Isabel, and Elizabeth. James died before 1790. Elizabeth remarried in 1795 to Issac Fulton and had five children with him. I think most of the family moved to Illinois in about 1836. I need information for James Crail, parents names, sibling names, where they were from etc. I think they were from Kentucky and Virginia before Kentucky became a state. I'm stuck now and haven't been able to find any Crails that match the info that I have. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. I am happy to share any information that I have.

Benningtons in Langtoft, Lincolnshire, England

richardmutter — 6 Oct 2005 1:09:44 GMT

I am researching my wife's family history. Her great grandfather was John Thomas Bennington, born in 1871, apparently in Langtoft, Lincolnshire.

The trouble is, there were two John Thomas Benningtons born that year in that village, cousins I think. One was the son of John and Elizabeth Bennington, who died 3 weeks later (I have the birth and death certificates). The one I am interested in did not die, he married Gertrude Emma Smith on 30 November 1895 in Duddington, Northamptonshire, England.

On the marriage certificate, his father is given as William Bennington, a mason.

So, what's the problem? It is that there is only one birth of a John Thomas Bennington in the GRO index for this area. There is one for Bishop Auckland, but that is in Durham, a long way from Langtoft, where the family lived all their lives. Has anyone else come across this problem? Can anyone help me to find the correct birth of the correct John Thomas Bennington, so I can verify his parents.

Thanks in advance

William_Brooks_Hull — 9 Jun 2006 10:09:42 GMT

I have an old Bible that has a family record showing:

John C. Wagoner [sic] born 29 Jul 1810
Sarah Fink born 1 Jan 1818
John C. Wagner m. Sarah Fink, 22 Dec 1842

Sallie E. Wagner born 30 Oct 1848
Henry B. Schell born 20 Jul 1848
Sallie E. Wagner m. Henry B. Schell, 21 Dec 1871

This Bible, published 1871, was "Presented to Mrs. Sallie E. Schell on the Evening of her Marriage, Dec. 21st 1871 by her Father John C. Wagner"
"Written by Rev. S D Bennington Officiating Minister"

I cannot find the parties in the census or anywhere else, but believe the minister may have been Samuel D. Bennington of York County, Pennsylvania.

I will be glad to copy the pages and send to interested researchers.

Samuel Bennington/Lawrence County OH

Cynthia Schaffner — 2 Nov 2005 8:33:37 GMT

I am looking for information on Samuel Bennington. He starts appearing in Lawrence county OH censuses in 1840, and disappears after 1860. He was born in Pennsylvania. He married twice; first to Margaret Moore 11/26/1840, then to Nancy Gaines 8/5/1849. Both marriages took place in Lawrence county. From census accounts, I estimate he was born between 1807 and 1810. Some of his children were Sarah, Susan, Isaac (my great-great grandfather), Samuel, and William. I am hoping to find where he came from in PA and when he died. Thank you.
