Family History Exhibit : Share your family's Stories

Help Us Bring Our Family History Exhibit to Life!

Family is more than just a name—it’s the legacy of the lives we’ve built, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the stories that shape us. As we prepare for the Benton Family History Exhibit at our upcoming family reunion, we invite EVERYONE to contribute!


This exhibit isn’t just about military heroes or famous family members—it’s about honoring all of us. From hard-working ancestors who labored in fields and factories to educators, caregivers, entrepreneurs, church leaders, and everyday people who made a difference in their communities. Your story matters, and we want to recognize every branch of our family tree.

 

Ways to Contribute:

✅ Share a brief story about a family member (past or present) who has impacted your life.
✅ Submit old photographs, newspaper articles, obituaries, family bibles, birth or marriage certificates.
✅ Provide documents related to land ownership, businesses, or community service.
✅ Highlight everyday heroes—parents, teachers, nurses, activists, and those who worked hard to create opportunities for future generations.

 

Let’s preserve our family history together! Your contributions will ensure that future generations know the incredible journey of the Benton family.

Help Us Honor Titauna “Candi” Benton

Honoring The Life & Legacy of Titauna Benton 

Candi was a true warrior! In 2023, after giving birth to her son, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic inflammatory breast cancer. She fought with faith, joy, and unmatched strength—for her 7 children, her family, and her future. She uplifted everyone around her and always said: “I’m good. I’m fighting. I have faith. This is my year to win!”

Candi passed away with the same grace she lived with. Now we need your help to give her a beautiful homegoing and support the children she leaves behind. Please donate: $BentonFamilyFund or through GoFundMe
