George Martin,

Thank you for your help.

Below are my current "BENSON, BENISON" entries in my 134-page Name Index. ..The listing that I presented was dated Nov 6, 1863 when they were in Farmersville, Collin Co TX. ..I find it interesting that this R. B. Benison was from Nacogdoches Co TX, then on Nov 6, 1863 he stated that he was in a Kaufman Co TX militia.
