These pages were the family information provided to J. Gilbert Lay; the information J. Gilbert Lay was able to gather of my great-greatgrandparents John K. Brown and Nancy Ann Asher married 02 November, 1848 in Crawford County, Missouri; and the family information that appeared in "Pioneer History". There were errors in this information, but I could not have come to know this great heritage and beyond if it were not for the dedication of J. Gilbert Lay. I was able to find a complete copy of "Pioneer History". The amount of information in those 44 pages was overwhelming! But these pioneer families were my only clues. I spent months pouring over the pages, building family group sheets, compiling an index. As I found clues and contacted others, I found they were as hungry for this fountain of information as I. This effort is dedicated to J. Gilbert Lay. For "succeeding generations to trace the history of their own family lines." I have attempted to transcribe the original as it originally appeared. I attempted no corrections to either spelling or information. I have taken the liberty of alphabetizing the final cemetery pages. Any information found here should be confirmed by verifiable documentation. A variant spelling of a family name may be just the clue you need. In a few instances, I found conflicting information. This appears to be from different family descendants. In this digital age, it is hard to imagine the effort and time it would have taken to accumulate the original work.

PIONEER HISTORY OF BENTON CREEK UNION TOWNSHIP CRAWFORD COUNTY, MISSOURI WEST BRANCH - EAST BRANCH BY: J. GILBERT LAY BENTON CREEK, a water shed drainage into the Meramec River has its headquarters near the Phelps-Dent County line. It is two streams, east and west;

from where it begins until it empties into the Meramec, it is probably less than twenty miles long. It derived it's name from one of the pioneer families who

came to that part of Missouri that became Crawford County about the time Crawford was taken from Gasconade County. Crawford County was organized in 1829, and

named in honor of William H. Crawford, a distinguished Democrat statesman of Georgia, and the irony part of the naming was the fact that Crawford is in a great majority of Republicans in voting politically. The Benton families, from

whom the creek gets it's name were Elijah Benton, who married Artemis Matlock in Gasconade County (two years before Crawford was organized) on February 10, 1827; James Benton and his wife Mary; Abraham Benton, Benjamin Benton and Mark Benton were others represented in the naming of the Creek. Of these Benton brothers,

little is recorded in Crawford with the exception of Mark Benton (wife - Sarah). His marriage record is unrecorded in the County Seat; of his children there was Andrew Benton who married Nancy Lamb, daughter of John and Catharine (Adams) Lamb, a brother to Thomas Lamb who married Betty Plank, and the two brother-inlaws used to freight from St. Louis, Missouri to Benton Creek. On one occasion, after they had returned from a freighting trip to St. Louis, a stranger had followed them enroute, and at night-fall, tried to rob them; in the fight that followed, the stranger was killed, and they buried

him on the hillside above where the school house was erected a few years later. The brothers-in-law reported the incident on their return trip to St. Louis to (page 2)

the authorities, but upon investigation, the stranger was not identified. Andrew Benton, son of Mark Benton, settled up near the head of the west branch of Benton Creek and there on his farm built a Blacksmith shop. Andrew was

a soldier in the Union Army and attended musters in Rolla, Missouri, some twenty miles from his home and shop. He made the trip once each month and had to either The Army officials delegated him the

The first subscription

school was established before 1871 on the East branch on Benton Creek and was in the home of Thomas E. Carr. Mrs. Anne Car, the wife of Thomas Carr was the teacher. Parents living in the vicinity contributed to a small fund enough money to have the school for some three of four months a year. Reading, 'riting and 'rithmatic. The three R's were taught viz:

This building, located almost on a line between the Lay and Haley place was first known as the Clinton school.
