Benjamin, along with brothers, John and Hazekiah Magee, enlisted December 1814, to serve under General Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. They served in Captain William Bickham’s Company of the 12th & 13th Louisiana Regiment, commanded by Col. Thomas C. Warner. They were discharged March 1815, at the Madisonville Navy Yard. Record of service for Benjamin is shown as December 23, 1814 to March 10, 1815. Benjamin Magee homesteaded what is now the Donald Warren Place, two miles north of Clifton, Louisiana. His home was a large two story log building. He was a good farmer, a community leader in all social, spiritual and business matters, and an avid and successful hunter. He was a rural pioneer mail carrier at the time of his death. The family of Benjamin Magee is enumerated on the 1820-1840 Washington Parish Louisiana census records. In 1820, they were parents of one female, aged 5 years. By 1830, they had three males and three females, aged 5 to 10 years. Terry is listed as head of household on the 1850 census, with eight children in the home. Following Benjamin’s death, his son, Zachariah and Benjamin’s brother, John Magee, both filed suits in 1851 for settlement of his estate. The final settlement is unknown but according to the Bounty Land Application in 1857, John Magee at some time became guardian to his brother’s minor children. He, as guardian of minors under age 21, and “next friend” to minors age 21, filed an application in behalf of their father’s War of 1812 service. Land of 160 acres was issued on March 1, 1858. Terry Ginn Magee remarried June 2, 1951, to Jesse Crawford, a Baptist Minister of the Pike County, Mississippi, area. There were no known children of this marriage. She and Jesse are buried at the Silver Creek Church Cemetery. Benjamin Magee, his daughter, Harriet, and Terri O. Magee, daughter of John Magee, III, are buried near his old home on the Donald Warren property. A government marker was placed at the approximate site of his grave by descendants in 1954.
