Frederick and Mary Bensinger; Ohio; 1850's

TimothyRyerson — 2008-12-21 21:57:26Z

I'm looking for information about my GGgrandparents Frederick and Mary Bensinger. All the information I have is from the 1870 census in Polk county Wisconsin where they seem to have moved shortly before 1860. They were both born in Baden Germany; He abt 1812; she abt 1830. Their first three Children (Barbara (1853), Mary (1855) and Christina (1857) are listed as born in Ohio. Boys Charles (1859), Emil (1861) and Lewis (1863) are listed as born in Wisconsin. I found Mary in a poor house? in Fond du Lac, Wis. in 1900. Lewis is buried in ND where his stone lists him as born 2 July 1854.

My mother is Carol Virginia Bensinger, her father is Carl Clair Bensinger, his Father was Charles J. Bensinger, apparently adopted by William and Sarah. Charles J. Bensingers real parents I guess were Missouri Harris and maybe John Klotz. But that leads us nowhere, but to an unknown clotz, would appreciate any help.

Most of this line of the Bensinger family still lives in Northwest, OH.

I saw another one of our family members had a post on here: she is the daughter of Helen Bensinger and Helen is my grandfather Carls sister.

Hi Jill.

I was curious if you had found anything about Anna Maria Bensinger since you posted this. I am looking for her family too, and wondered about her DOB. I have several children of Christian Kaup in my records and of the 7 children, 3 were born before 4/1783, so I am assuming that Anna Maria was a 2nd marriage? If this reaches you and you have found anything else out about this Bensinger / Kaup family, please let me know.
thank you,

Raymond C. Bensinger, 82, son of, Charles and Minnie (Foreman) Bensinger.

I made a mistake in my message. The Moses Bensinger born in 1806 is the one getting messed up with Moses Bensinger born in 1833. The Moses born in 1833 was married to Polly Horn.

I am the great grandniece of William Bensinger. As far as I know he has no direct descendants left. This is what I have on his direct descendants.

William Bensinger 1840-1918 m Sarah Carolina Harrris
1842-1929

Son of William --- Charles Henry 'Harry' Bensinger b 1865, Waverly TN, m Mary Barger

Son of Harry --- William Fredrick 'Fred' Bensinger

Daughter of Fred --- Frances Bensinger

Frances did not marry and has passed away.

William and Sarah took into their home my grandfather, Charles, (a different person than their biological son Charles).when his parents died of yellow fever. We believe this to be in 1878 when he was six years old..Sarah was the sister of Charles' mother. They raised him, and he took their last name. So my mother's family became Bensingers.

So all the Bensingers from our family are not blood relatives but we always felt we were part of that heritage. My mother, my children, grandchildren, and I are the only ones from her family left, but her two brothers, who are dead, have quite a few children, grandchildren, etc living.

My mother, Helen Umbs, and Fred Bensinger came to TN, I think, when the 'General' was first reconditioned and put on display. I'm a little spotty on the details as I was away from home by then.

My mother plans to write to you also. Maybe by snail mail or maybe I will type an Email for her. I will forward your Email to my cousins. Perhaps they will be interested or have more info..

If you have questions, I will be glad to try to answer them.
