I'm searching for a Dr. Benjamin Blanton who was born in or around 1840 and was married to Mary Ellen Schwabe.

My best information on him is from 1880 and 1885 when he was in Iowa and Kansas, respectively. I believe he was born in Missouri and may have died around 1900. His wife is buried in Missouri, but I have not been able to find death information on him outside of her being listed in census as "widowed" after 1900

Unfortunately, this is NOT the Dr. Ben Frank Blanton who died in the 1950s or the Newspaper editor descended from Thomas Blanton and Nancy McCrary. These other Benjamin Blantons have given me a lot of false leads. If anyone has information on him or other ancestors of Mary Virginia Blanton Livingston I would greatly appreciate the information, thank you!
