I am writing to you because my sister and I have been searching our ancestors for a long time and we thought maybe you could help us in some way. Our great, great grandfather was named Josiah Cooper. We think he was born near or in Newbury, Massachusetts around 1795. He was under the guardianship of Amos Carleton in 1809. In 1832, he changed his name to Henry Franklin Benton. We assume he changed his name because he became divorced a few months before the name change. The divorce file states that his wife committed adultery. Henry remarried in 1835 and moved to Leominster, Masachusetts. He died in 1855. We are trying to find out who Josiah/Henry's parents were. All the records state his parents were unknown. We really wonder where Josiah got the name of Henry Franklin Benton. If you see any connection with your family we would love to know!!! Thank you!! Peg Clark Hi there!

I thought my dad had a book from you, but it was lost. Hi Joan,

He was born in Titchfield, England . His life from Titchfield to the Plymouth Colony is a mystery. Did he sail on Mayflower !!? Is there evidence that he was a Puritan and spent time in Holland.?
