These marriages are from a book kept by Rev. Jonathan Benson. He was a Methodist Episcopal minister. He moved around western New York and would stay in one location for only a short period of time. He was in Penfield, NY from 1834 to 1836. Then he was in Walworth, NY for 1836 and 1837. He was the minister in South Perinton beginning in 1837. Rev. Benson died in Victor, NY in 1888 at the age of 89. He is buried in the Victor Village Cemetery
In the 1930s this book of marriages was owned by Rev. Benson's grandson, Charles A. Durand
