Hello, and welcome to Rootschat!

https://www.familysearch.org/  has all sorts of indexes on this family.  It is a free site but you do have to register.   Once you do that, just enter Benjamin Johnson, and under spouse, put Mary Allen,  and Wisconsin under the Residence option, and then hit Search and the indexes for their marriage and children's births are there.

Hi and welcome to RootsChat.

If this marriage is the correct couple then it says that Benjamin is from Iceland:
