Notes

Note 1

named in mother Ann Saxon's will 1837

So far all documents including his mother's will, have indicated first name is normally spelled "Benjamin" and there is no "e" at end. I suspect the "e" may have been added by Uncle Bobby when he first begain his research..

also may refer to http://www.gravesfa.org/gen570.htm

this site may mirror ours or taken from Mary Makima work.

it seems to be secondary in nature.
