John and Richard were two separate families. I am from the American John Benjamin family (non Jewish heritage.) The John Benjamin information that I have goes back to when he came to this country in 1632.

If anyone is interested information that may be in this book please feel free to contact me.
If I can help you I will.

I can be reached at nyhyke@hotmail.com If you contact me please put BENJAMIN in the subject line so I know it is not junk mail.
