Diane,

Most of the Benjamin's listed don't seem to fit in the date range of your
Benjamin or are already listed with a spouse (which doesn't mean much
actually). There is one that seems to fit your date range which is;
Michael Bare (1705-1770) Cocalico Twp PA
Henry Bear (1735-1810) moved to Cumberland Co, PA in 1804
Samuel Bear (1768-1850)
Benjamin Bear (no dates of spouse listed)

Jeff;
No I haven't seen the article ,woud any of the Benjamins in it have been
born about 1804?Which families are they with? Diane
