Birth of a son #1	Benjamin T MIZE June 1824 Gallatin Co., Illinois Shared note: Only circumstantial evidence supports the claim that Araminta McMurtry Mize Sisk was the mother of B… Only circumstantial evidence supports the claim that Araminta McMurtry Mize Sisk was the mother of Benjamin Mize of New Haven and Shawneetown. Araminta lived and was married on the border between Gallatin and White Counties where Benjamin's name first appears in 1855. In the 1830 census Araminta Mize was a widow with a young (unnamed) boy of Benjamin's age and in the 1840 census she has married Culbertson Sisk, has a young (unnamed) teenage boy consistent with Benjamin's age who was born well before her marriage to Mr Sisk. The 1850 census of the area is devoid of any mention of a Benjamin Mize. Benjamin consistently says he was born in Illinois and the 1830, 1840 census has no other Mize families in the neighborhood. Benjamin attends the same Presbyterian church as the other McMurtry's of White Co.
Birth of a daughter #2	Eliza J MIZE about 1827 IL
Death	before 1830 Illinois
