Darlene K Carroll 10426 Chesterwood Drive Spotsylvania,Virginia 22553 540-785-2975 | Looking for any Benhase's.The first Benhase came to America from Hildesheim, Hannover Province, Germany in 1854.The spelling of his name in the German's to America book was Herman Henry Boehnhase. We think it may have been spelled Bohnhaus in Germany.He was a shoemaker.He settled in Cincinnati, Ohio and married Salomine Erhardt in 1855 and they had 8 children.Herman died in 1873 by suicide.His children started spelling the surname Benhase and it continues to this day.Most of the Benhases have stayed in Ohio.Some are in Arizona and Virginia.We would really like to find out any information about Herman.What where his parents names and if he had any siblings. |
