A biographical sketch states:
"Dr. Samuel Bender...was born in Maryland in 1795, a son of Henry
Bender, who was born in Germany and who came to the United States about 1785.
The family afterward moved from Mayland to Pennsylvania, thence in 1818 to
Madison, Ind., and there, in 1820, Dr. Bender married Miss Mary A. Dawes...."
His obituary says that he was born in "Mercersburg, Maryland in 1795."
Samuel married Mary Ann Dawes Apr. 9, 1820, in Madison, Jefferson Co.,
IN, attended medical school in KY, began practice in TN, moved to MO in
1841/2, and had the following children:
Selina H. b. 1821
