• Notes

  There are at least 3 Joseph Bentons of New England of similar peerage that are not to be confused. Wikitree 2022 "Joseph was born October 15, 1725 in Maryland.[1][2] In August 1727, he was "bound" to Charles Roberts until the age of 21 by action of the Prince George's County Court:[3] 'Joseph Benton (son of Joseph and Anne Benton) two years old the fifteenth day of next October is by the Justices of the Court here [Prince George's County] bound to Charles Roberts present here in Court in his proper [person] until it arrive to the age of twenty one years and the said Charles engages to learn the said Child during the time [aforesaid] to read distinctly at the expiration thereof to give him a decent Suit of apparel.' Joseph's will was transcribed and is included at Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia's Northern Neck Counties. He names his eleven children from his first wife as Joseph Benton, William Benton, Mordacai Benton, Erasmus Benton, Benjamin Benton, Nathan Benton, Hezekiah Benton, Marian Sedwick, Elizabeth Ford, Thomas Benton (dec'd. leaving children), Ann Sedwick (dec'd. leaving children).[4] Here is a 2nd source for our Joseph.
