The Adult Lives of Benjamin (Sr) & Perthinia Truax
Benjamin and Perthinia married on January 26, 1761, in Monmouth, New Jersey. It was as husband and wife that they helped settle Bethel, Pennsylvania; when Benjamin served in the Continental Line he was a father and husband.
Perthinia died on October 31, 1781, and is buried at the Tonoloway Baptist Church Cemetery, in Warfordsburg, Pennsylvania.
From U.S. Census records we can verify that Benjamin continued to live in Bethel Township after Perthinia passed away. For details from the 1790 and 1800 U.S. Census, see the articles on his son, Benjamin Junior.
Benjamin died in Bethel, on May 10, 1801. He too was buried at the Tonoloway Baptist Church Cemetery. He left a Will, which we will discuss next time.
