Arthur Christopher Benson Genealogy of the Family of Benson of Banger House and Northwoods, in the Parish of Ripon and Chapelry of Pateley Bridge

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Since the Book was sent to Press, Mr. A. H. Inman has pointed out that an error has been made in the Pedigree by confusing Anthony Benson (22) with Captain Anthony Beckwith, and that the son Robert, with whom I have credited Anthony Benson, is really a Beckwith. I remember that the name was a difficult one to decipher, but I acknowledge with gratitude to Mr. Inman that I have deciphered it wrong, and that Anthony Benson must be at once deprived of his rank of Captain and of his only son Robert.<br><br>Benson (2) was chaplam to the Lady Scrope of Masham, and is mentioned in her will (Testam.Ebor. Surtees Society); another branch migrated to Ribblesdale, and held the grange of Copman-howe (now Capon Hall) between Settle and Malham.
