In your investigation of British Benthalls have you ever come across any possibilities for the placement of the 17th century American immigrant, Thomas Benthall,born circa 1613-1619, who arrived in Virginia about 1654 as an indentured servant and practiced the trade of tanner and overseer.His sons were named:John, Joseph, and Thomas (Jr).His son, Joseph, also practiced the trade of tanner.I once found a little evidence that some of the Essex Benthalls practiced tanning as a trade.
