Dear List: I am trying to prove my GGGrandfather was Thomas Benthall from Carteret County, NC. I believe he moved from Carteret after 1804 and moved to the part of Henderson County, KY that became Union County, KY. About 1837 he sold his land in Kentucky and moved to Posey County, IN.
I have documented my sources below. I am looking for any information about Thomas Benthall in Posey County that will help me wrap this up: Wedding Applications, Tombstone incriptions, Census, etc.
Thanks,
Mike
