- . Benoni was married twice and had 6 Childre n. Benoni was a private in the Rev. War in New York.
- . Benoni was married twice and had 6 Childre n. Benoni was a private in the Rev. War in New York.
- Actually Benoni is a Biblical name that means "son of my sorrow."
It was the original name given to the younger son of the patriarch
Jacob. Rachel, his mother, in her dying agony named the child Benoni.
(Genesis 35:18).
This name was often given in American Colonial times to a child whose
mother died in childbirth or whose father died before the child was
born. In fact, this is an important clue. When one sees the name Benoni,
look to see what sad event might have caused the child to be given that
name. It might have been the death of a grandparent, a parent or a
sibling.

Of their children, Robert married and moved elsewhere; Jonathan married Phebe Nichols; Benoni married a daughter of Robert MC Nair of Middlesex; Augustus married Olive, daughter of George Clark; Warner died filling the first grave in the neighborhood

They moved to Mishawaka, IN, in 1834; their children were: Hannah who married Benoni Hoard; Nelson who marred Betsey Hoard, both children of James Hoard of Potter, William and Mary.
Gideon MOON married Azuba, daughter of George CLARK and moved to the vicinity of Jamestown, NY. William married Miss GREEN and settled in Allegany Co. Damy married James D. WOOD.
