Joseph was born in Canada and, according to the 1900 census, came to the US in 1860. The original French and Canadian spelling of the name was probably Benois but has been found in several Americanized variations including Benneois, Benneweis, Benneveis, Benneway, Beneway, and finally Benaway. The final spelling fairly closely matches the Americanized pronunciation.
