The following is from Jim Terry - if anyone desires to contact him, contact me and I will give you his e-mail address
Benjamin was born in either Otsego or Delaware County, NY. You mentioned abt the 1900 census that says he was born in Delaware--I think it may refer to the county, not state. Albert lived in Delaware Cty in 1820 with his first wife. He married Martha in Cooperstown (Otsego) in 1824, and the family is found in Otsego Cty in 1830 . Albert died young--I don't have an exact year, but it would be between 1834 and 1840
I do not know when Albert's first wife died, nor the exact birthdate of Albert (abt 1825)--so son, Albert could have had a different birth mother than Benjamin.
