Notes

One thing I have just located on the web is that Benjamin John Theophilus WEIGHT may well have actually been WRIGHT.
My wife & I looked through 20+ years of records at the FHC & could not find him under Weight and last night I looked up him on a website I found "http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/" by using the spouse "Lou isa Usher" and found a marriage around the correct period to a "Benjamin John T Wright" which I think is probably the real connection, particularly as in those days many people had literacy problems a nyway, but I still need to validate this more. One Benjamin was I believe a twin.
