Notes:
The Journey of Benjamin Franklin “Berry” Ledbetter - by Bob Juch
Benjamin was born in North Carolina about 1815, probably in the hills of Morgan Township in north central Rutherford County where his father, Laban, was counted in the 1800 and 1910 censuses.
His mother, Priscilla Earle Ledbetter, appears on the 1830 Census of Cape Girardeau County, Missouri with one male 10-14 and one male 15-19. One is probably Benjamin. She must be the female 50-59. What happened to Laban, and where, is not known. Below her entry are Ransom Ledbetter and Jarret Ledbetter. Ransom is shown with one male 20-29, one male 30-39, one female under 5, and one female 20-29. The younger male might be a brother. Jarret is shown with one male 20-29, two females under 5, and one female 20-29.
Benjamin next is shown as Berry on the 1840 Census of Jackson County, Alabama. He's shown with one male under 5, one female 30-39, and one female 60-69. The older female is probably his mother, but the younger female and boy do not fit what is known of his wife and children. Possibly they are the wife and child of one of his brothers.
Pleasant Ledbetter is shown on the same page with one male under 5, one male 5-9, one male 30-39, two females under 5, one female 5-9, and one female 20-29. Those ages fit perfectly this family of James Pleasant Ledbetter who went by Pleasant. He is the older brother of Berry. The birth places and dates of his children show that he went from North Carolina to Missouri before 1832 then to Alabama by 1833. Pleasant had two land clams in 1837 and 1838 of the northeast and southwest quarters of the southwest quarter of section 3S 7E 14. He was probably living there in 1840.
In 1850 Berry is back in Missouri, in Wayne County, about 30 miles west of Cape Girardeau County. His wife, Mary A., and daughters Alabama and Virginia are shown with him on the Census.
He is not found on the 1860 Census.
The 1870 Census shows him in Butte County, California with his wife and children. As his daughter, Alabama, had a child there in 1862, and Virginia was married there in 1865, he must have been in Butte County by 1862. His youngest child, Samuel, was listed as being born in Alabama about 1861, but as Benjamin later claimed he was born in Butte County in 1857, that may not be correct.
Benjamin married Mary Ann "Polly" about 1839. Mary was born on 27 Jan 1823 in Alabama, USA; died on 15 Jun 1904 in Gridley, Butte, California, USA; was buried on 17 Jun 1904 in Gridley, Butte, California, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
