From Mike Snider - Many years ago I spoke with a fairly famous Pence researcher and he said that Peter & Mary Pence did not have a daughter and had only and questioned where I had gotten the information that they were Elizabeth's parents. Anyway, he was certain very certain that our information was wrong and since I did not have any documentation to prove otherwise I left it in doubt. Since then, I have come across some info that leads me to believe that Elizabeth's last name was Bentz rather than Pence. But again I do not have documentation to prove that either. I (CHH) that in Fay's work or comments she expressed doubt about the spelling of Elizabeth's name.
