I'm looking for info on Marioner or Mariner Benjamin, son of Allen Elijah Benjamin and Mary Pick of White Rock. He was their first child, born 22 Dec 1858. According to most information available, he died at sea 16 May 1879, but I've not been able to find any death records, obits, or news stories of his death. One family story has that he may have been at sea near Indonesia when it happened, but I have yet to find sources to back it up.
Anyone know of this story, or where else to look?
Thanks,
