[MD] one for Arlo, as an aside

[Arlo Bensinger]

Hi Adrie,

I'll look into this a little closer and get back to you.

On the Bensinger side of my family, the farthest back I've gone is to 
Frederick Bensinger, who settled in the area I am from (Schuylkill 
County, Pennsylvania) before the Revolutionary war. We know his first 
son, Michael, was born in Schuylkill County in 1798. Frederick had 
emigrated from Germany (I believe), and was not born himself in America.

Where we came from before that, or how the name changed before this, 
I don't know, but will look at this site.

Thanks!

Arlo
