Benjamin's wife was likely Florentine Putty, b. 1832/1834 in TN.
Benjamin was not named as living with his mother in her divorce petition in 1857 so probably he was already married.

Two houses from a Matthew Dennis who is unidentified. Matthew's age was given as 22 [or born 1838] Matthew's wife was Flora - said to be Flora Thaxton, sister to Rhoda Thaxton who had married Benjamin's older brother Richard and she was age 26. There was a daughter age 6 - Matthew would have been only 14 - and boys Calvin and Blake both age 2.
