Description:
Thomas Benson of Shiplake, Oxfordshire, and his wife, Maude (Warner) Benson, married in 1575. They were the likely grandparents of John Benson who emigrated to New England in 1638 and settled at Hingham, Massachusetts. This book examines not only these Bensons, but also the Kittery, Maine, Newport, Rhode Island and Salem, Massachusetts families. Additionally it looks at African-American Bensons, unplaced Benson family members and the lineage of Ezra Taft Benson, a past president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Secretary of Agriculture in the Eisenhower administration. Numerous unpublished records were consulted in the preparation of this genealogy. 500 pages, hard cover. 2003.
