Notes
a. Note:   According to oral family history, either Robert or Henry Benefiel settled in Vincennes Indiana and helped write the Indiana State Constitution. However, the book "Centennial History and Handbook of Indiana" by G.S. Cottman, indicates that John Benefiel was one of five representatives sent from Knox County, Indiana (Vincennes) to the Indiana Constitutional Convention of June 1816 at Corydon, Indiana. The group was headed up by then Territorial Governor Jonathan Jennings, who later became the new state's first governor. That Robert Benefiel was born in Virginia, so he cannot be one of our family.
