Benjamin married second #30246 Grace C. Hubbs.

Relationship notes

They married in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania.

[Mercy VII-00] gives the date of marriage as 11 Dec 1988. That is incorrect given his death. I'm reluctant to simply correct it to 1888 given that would be after the birth of all three children which are marked as being children of this marriage.

 

Grace was born 15 Sep 1852. She died 28 Jan 1925.
