Benjamin Franklin Paceley was born about 1820, in Hamilton County, Ohio, according to census records. We believe he was the son of Hugh Paceley, Jr.
Benjamin appears on the 1820, 1830 and 1840 Hamilton County census with his parents and siblings.
Benjamin married Elzira Parmer about 1847, in Ohio. Elzira Parmer was born about 1829, in Ohio according to census records.
The 1850 Hamilton County, Ohio census, Green Township, shows Benjamin F. Pasely, 30, an inn keeper, owned real property valued at $1800; Eliza, 22; and James, 2 years old. Living with the family were Elizabeth Walker, 19, born in Ohio; and Andrew J. Parmer, 16, a farmer, born in Ohio. Andrew was Elzira's brother.
The 1860 Hamilton County census, Green Township, shows B. E. Pasely, 38, a farmer, $1500 real property, $275 personal property; Elzira, 30; James, 12; William, 9; Harriet, 2; and Mary, 1 year old.
The family moved to Indiana about 1865. They settled in Spencer County for a time in the 1870's.
We have been told that Benjamin died around 1870, in Spencer County. Elzira died July 2, 1879, in Spencer County.
