Genealogical Brick Wall
Hervey Jones Benedict (1853 - 1924) & Clara Evadna Uttley (1858 - 1935)
Information I have:
- Hervey was born 5 Oct 1853, probably in Ontario County, New York. The 1850 Census shows his family in Kirtland, Lake, Ohio and the 1855 New York state census shows the family in Canandiagua, Ontario, New York.
- Married Clara Evadna Uttley on 5 May 1877 in Farmersville, Cattaraugus, New York.
- Clara was born 25 December 1858 in Ontario County, New York.
- Homesteaded in Hutchinson County, Dakota Territory between 1878 and 1880.
- Moved to a new homestead in Temvik, Emmons, North Dakota in 1904.
- Hervey died 7 Oct 1924 in Emmons County, North Dakota and was buried in the Linton Cemetery, Linton, Emmons, North Dakota.
- Clara died 26 Apr 1935 in Hazelton, Emmons, North Dakota and was buried in the Linton Cemetery.
Information I'm seeking:
- Confirmation of Hervey's place of birth. Nearly every source I've seen indicates he was born in Canandiagua, Ontario, New York.
- Hervey's Residence in 1870. I have found his mother and all of his sisters in the 1870 census in Ohio and Michigan but have not been able to locate Hervey. He would have been about 16 at the time of the census.
