I think I should at this point say that I have a niggling suspicion that I'm missing a generation here. If you look at the Ancestry deaths and burials for a Christian Benzing you'll find three. The 1837 one is the one I have a cert for where the informant is Ann. The 1824 is a child which I've claimed as Christian and Ann's. But the third burial in 1834 is for a Christian Benzing that I have no other record for. If he was born in 1804 it's quite possible that he is the father of my 2x gt grandmother Ann (and perhaps the child who died) who was b in 1828 (he would of course have to have married an Ann too). The other reason for my doubts is the length of time between Christian and Ann's marrige in 1812 and the birth of the first child in 1823. Your thoughts are welcome!
