Benjamin was a member of the 2nd Battalion, Missouri Calvary State Guard,
First Division.
Benjamin, and his brother, James, were founding members of the Poplar Bluff
Masonic Lodge, #209, A. F.& A. M. The lodge was organized in
1860 with a membership of eleven as follows: J. W. Baldwin, J. T. Adams, James M.
Jennings, James D. Dennis, Charles L. Scott, T. M. Ritch, C. P. Phelps, T. J.
Bledsoe, S.W. Miller, B. D. Jennings and James S. Ferguson. The first meeting
was held on the evening of May 7, 1860, and the election and installation of
officers took place, as follows: J. W. Baldwin, W. M.; J. T. Adams, S.W.; James M.
Jennings, J. W.; T. J. Bledsoe, Treas.; T. M. Ritch, Sec.; James S. Ferguson, S.D.;
C. P. Phelps, J.D.; C. L. Scott, Tyler. Benjamin resigned from the lodge
28 Sep 1867 and supposedly left Butler County.
It's believed that Benjamin removed to the Indian Territory with his second
family and died while living there but no records have been found of this yet.
