Jesse Preston, William G., Johnathan, and John Bender (OH and IA)
Looking for info. on the Bender's mentioned above.
Jesse "Joseph" Preston Bender was born in Mercer County, OH in about 1892, he was the son of William G. Bender and Martha Magnora Fast. He married a woman named Nellie and had one child with her, he then married a woman named Irene Rose (LNU).
William G. Bender was born in Mercer County, OH. He was the son of Johnathan Bender and Hannah Amanda Murlin. First married Martha Fast and had two children with her (Jesse and Luella) but Martha remarried so I assume they divorced.
Johnathan Bender was born in Lycoming County, PENN. Moved to OH I assume with his parents. Served in Civil War and came back to OH. Married Hannah Murlin. Moved to Iowa, where he died. I have a biography stating that his father was named John Bender and his mother was named Elizabeth Koontz.
