Tom McCabes Genealogy 2022

Note: The claim is that Benjamin Mize was the son of Araminta Mize and that he would have come with Araminta after her marriage to Culbertson Sisk in 1832. Both the 1830 and 1840 census supports this hypthesis. The 1840 census shows that a boy, age 10-14, lived in the family in 1840 even though they had only been married 8 years. Thus it is reasonable and likely that the boy was Benjamin Mize. Unfortunately Benjamin has not been identified anywhere in the 1850 census. the assumption has been that he was apprenticed to become a saddler somewhere in Illinois or KY.
