Subject: Lyman H. Benjamin father of Whitfield Benjamin Anna Bodine's son
HI,
I am Lyman H. Benjamin's granddaughter. If you want some updates for him I have some. He actually married twice after Anna Bodine and had 2 more children, one was my mother in Indiana before he went to Ohio. I am also looking for photos of him. Please contact me and let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Carolyn
