I'm looking for information on a Johann Frederich Benner (1776-August 26, 1871) born in Germany who married Sophia (Unknown) born in 1799 in Chester Co, PA.

Married on November 14, 1833. James and Sophia (Benner) Gray lived in Humbolt, Ross County, Ohio which is located between Bainbridge and Fruitdale.
