A fact that I forgot to mention.Benjamin Onderdonk muster in at NYC in the 5th NY Volunteers and later resigned from them to take a position inThe 1st NY Mounted Rifles.Benjamin and Grover Cleveland were great friends and at one time there was a letter written from President Cleveland to Benjamin and Marilla asking them to name their son after him.We have no idea what has happened to that letter.
As stated we have no idea who Benjamin's father's parents are.
