John Benson

Although not directly listed in the memorandum book, James (John's father) purchased enough food rations for five people.  According to New York passenger lists, the Benson's traveled from Liverpool to New York aboard the Colorado, arriving 28 July 1868.

Birth date listed was found in a personal, online family history record (such as Family Tree, Ancestry, or My Heritage), without any accompanying documentation.  Further research is needed to verify its accuracy.
