    • Kathleen (Tifft) Cooper says that Benjamin's middle name is Floyd; she also says that his birthdate is 18 June 1833.

      Benjamin (age 46) is enumerated as "Benjamine F. Tiffet" in the 1880 Census at Colfax Twp., Wilson County, Kansas. This would place his date of birth around 1834.

      Some family historians indicate that Benjamin was married to Elizabeth Hall at Washington County, Rhode Island ca. 1792, but he would have been 12 years old at the time.

      For those who are interested in LDS ordinance information, the International Genealogical Index, 1993 edition, version 3.00 says that Benjamin F. TIFF and Nancy Jane NAYLOR were sealed to each other on 10 Jun 1982.
