Willing to share info
Looking for info on Benton's and Benton Castle
« on: Friday 09 July 04 03:56 UTC (UK) »
I am hoping someone can help me find my BENTON ancestors.  I know that my 3rd g-grandfather emigrated to the USA in 1837 on the GARRICK (Liverpool to New York) - but have been unable to learn his given name.  I know that there was a JOHN BENTON, who was born in 1801, aboard the same ship who is somehow related. 

Supposedly there is a link between  my ancestors and BENTON CASTLE (Llangwm, Pembrokeshire) -- Obviously, the name implies as much, though, how close a link, I have no idea

Can some kind soul  please help? (BTW I live in Florida, USA)

I'm hoping someone can provide me with a lead to tracking down these relatives.   

Thanks ever so much in advance.

I found a Benton Castle in the parish of Burton, pembrokeshire wales, in the 1841 and 1861 census but found no Bentons either living in the castle or in the parish sorry

I'm not sure if you are still interested in Benton Castle since the last reply was Dec 2004.

I live a few miles from the castle in a place called Hook, although I don't know very much about it.  I've got some local history books so I'll take a look and see if there are any more details about the history of the place. I can also take a look in the local library the next time I am there.

Here's a link to a web site with some more details: http://www.acadat.com/HLC/milford/area/346.htm   or you can do a search on google and find more links.

Best regards,
