Benjamin Sanders and his wife Linney sold land to Moses Higginbotham, Jackson County, Alabama in February 1847. Deed Book Q , page 569, 15th of February, 1847. Liney probably died in 1849 because she does not appear on the 1850 census. Her last child was born in 1849. Regardless of what may be found elsewhere on the Internet, the identity of her parents is not known and were certainly not Thomas Suggs and Sarah Spencer.
According to family tradtion in Texas, Benjamin was a blacksmith, like his father. He is said to have been "killed by the federals during the war of the sixties." How he died has not been confirmed but he was dead by January 1866 when a settlement was made of his estate.
About 1852 Benjamin married Intha Adeline Freeman (widow of George Gifford) and by 1860 he had moved his new family to Wright County, Missouri.
There were eight children by Benjamin's first wife, and five children by the second wife.

Sarah Sanders Saunders, 1826
Matilda Carolyn Miller, 1828
Henry L. Sanders, about 1830

Mary Maldira Nancy Louise Sanders Dubois, 1844
Paulina Catherine D. Sanders Crews, 1846
