[23270] Aline is daughter of Stephen G(r)ay and wife Alice according to http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~pmcbride/rfc/gw33.htm#I8672 in 2003.
Benen Foster was born at Scarboro, Maine, Nov. 14, 1760, son of Isaiah and Lydia (Fogg) Foster. Edwin Wallace Bell, "Israel Kenny..." (1944), p. 65, states Benen is "sixth in line of descent from Reginald Foster who came to Massachusetts from England in 1638."
While living at Machias, Maine., in 1775, he volunteered and assisted in the capture of the British schooner, Margaretta, which was commanded by Capt. Moore. Afterward, he enlisted and served nine months as a private in Capt. Jabez West's Massachusetts Company, during which time he went on an expedition to the St. John River. He then enlisted and served two years or more as a private in Capt. Stephen Smith's Company, which was part of Col. John Allen's Mass. Regiment, and was in another engagement at Machias. (see the second in this series where Col. John Allen is also mentioned).
After the war, Benen came to the St. John River, where he married, May 20, 1782, Deborah, eldest daughter of Israel and Susannah (Hood) Kinney of Oromocto. (see the fifth in this series). Their first grant was one-third each of Lots 6 and 7 at Oromocto. After living there for more than 20 years, they removed to the Parish of Wakefield, Carleton Co., where they made their home on Lot 31 fronting on the west bank of the St. John River at Somerville, about three-quarters of a mile south of the covered bridge at Hartland.
Benen probably was wounded while serving with the American forces during the Revolutionary War. The Veterans Administration, Bureau of Pension Records, Washington, D.C., shows that he applied, Dec. 4, 1832, while living in Wakefield, for a pension, and that a pension was paid from Mar. 4, 1831 until his death Oct. 24, 1843. Deborah then applied, May 21, 1844, while a resident of Houlton, Maine, for a pension, which was paid from Oct. 24, 1843, until her death Apr. 13, 1852.
