According to Gale Stafford Wall, g- granddaughter of George W and Catherine Stafford, George s first wife was Louisa Commander and his second wife was her first cousin Nancy - their fathers were brothers. Louisa was also first cousin to the third wife, Catherine, as their mothers were sisters. The census birthplace of Milburn s mother indicates that Catherine was his mother, but George and Catherine were not married until 1917 and Milburn was five years old in 1920. His mother was Nancy. http://www.rootsweb.com/~flholmes/campgrou.htm : Campground Cemetery, Westville, Holmes County, Florida (Many Bentons are buried in the section west of the HWY.)
