Benison family

[lmgnz]

If anyone is looking for Benisons in mid 1700s I have a list of names from the Will of John Millward a farmer of Cheddleton who was buried on 13 SEP 1761. This John Millward appeared to have property in ?Fernyhill, Oldfield, Ipstones & Leek.

I suspect this John Millward was or was connected to the John Millward who married Hannah Bennison at Cheddleton in Dec 1739. I only have my notes from viewing a microfilm of the Will many years ago and there were parts I could not read but what I have is:

In his will John leaves his property or income to his brother-in-law Ralph BENISON with several additional bequests. (Probate was claimed by Ralph BENISON  & Phoebe BENISON).
