The last child of Miriam (Smith) Warner was actually "Benoni"; he died 3 weeks after birth on Dec. 10, 1752, and his mother died two days later. So a correction has been found 92 years later (2011) by Mary E. Warner, thanks her sleuthing, to volunteer photographer Dave Robison, and to findagrave.com. __________ NOTE: Elisha #59124547 of Belchertown, MA. NOT her son. __________ Research: Mary E.
