Wednesday 02/06/2002 3:27:37pm Name: Mary Benton-Nicholas E-Mail: nanandday@aol.com City/State: Philadelphia, PA Look-Up Request: Dear dear Barbara, I just had to find a way to thank you a thousand times over for your hard work on the Confederate Veterans Robert E. lEE Camp #158. I just started trying to complete work my father left me in 1993, and was brought to tears to find not only my well known ggreat-uncle John Newton Benton listed as a charter member, but there is his older brother Joseph M. Benton. It appears that Joseph returned to TN along with my ggreat-grandfather Edmond Daniel Benton to serve in the same unit. Joseph was lost to my father's research after a Collin Co. voter registration in 1873. This information and the fact that he was born in Cass Co. GA opens new avenues for me to follow. My only question is about the J. T. Bentons buried in the same plot. The only other brother who I haven't found is Jeremiah Benton Born 1834 in TN. I hope this may be him or Joseph buried there, or maybe both of them. Sorry for the rambling but I just wanted you to know how much this means to me. I will just jot my questions here at the end so you don't need to read all this again to find my questions. 1. May I have all the information you have on Charter Members such as John Newton Benton. 2. Could you send me anything else you have on Joseph M. Benton. 3. Please forward anything else you have on the other Benton's. Thank You Profoundly Mary Benton-Nicholas REPLY: I appreciate your kind words, however all information available to me regarding this family is posted to the website, particularly records of the R. E. Lee Camp. Additional info on other charter members will be posted to the website as it is transcribed. -Barbara

Monday 11/12/2001 0:59:32am Name: Lera Hogan Oldham E-Mail: bolera@juno.com City/State: Arlington,TX Look-Up Request: I have been able to find that the brother of my great grandmother (Martha Ann Want Sumpter), George Henderson Want, came to Fort Worth around 1874, married Miss Lillie Price on September 16, 1875 (as per news article in Ft. Worth Standard, p.3. col. 11). In Confederate Burials at Pioneer Rest Cemetery, I see he is buried on Lot 18, block 4. I made a trip over to see the cemetery and of course photograph the tombstone, etc. for my records. Unfortunately I went on a weekend and the cemetery was locked. Can you suggest a time when I would be able to enter the cemetery? I am also anxious to see if anyone else is buried with him. I belong to the Arlington Gen. Soc. and have been working on my family tree a rather short time. I am pretty GREEN when it comes to research. My father's family (William Louis Hogan and Annie Sumpter Hogan)came to Fort Worth around 1910 (found on census), my father was born at home on Dec. 31, 1912. The family was living at 1036 Edwards St. (I have found that Edwards was changed to Pruitt up in the hospital district and was right behind Thistle Hill). I know the names of the doctor and lady friends in attendance. Family, by 1914 had moved to Dallas, but both parents are buried in Greenwood Cemetery. This is about as far as I have gotten in Fort Worth research. I would like to find where both of these men (Hogan and Want) worked, etc. Where the Want family lived and if there were children, etc. I would truly appreciate any help and guidance you can offer me. Thank you for your time and patience, Lera H. Oldham REPLY: According to the posted sign (picture appears in Pioneers Rest Cemetery compilation) the cemetery is open 9 - 5 Mon. - Fri. There are several abstracts from obits on the Want family included in this book. -Barbara
