CYNTHIA MORROW
CYNTHIA MORROW was born January 25, 1807 married Benjamin Porter ; did they marry about 1830 and have children born before Susan? I believe there were maybe two older girls. Wish I could find a death for Benjamin and Cynthia, why and how they died, because the four younger children were taken into the homes of their Uncles Drury and Allen and Aunt Sarah. Where are Benjamin & Cynthia buried?

1840 Census shows Benjamin age 20-30, wife age 30-40 maybe the enumerator mixed up their ages? 2 girls under 5, 2 girls 15-20... neighbors; John T Hagins and Drury Morrow as neighbors
