Notes

I found a Martha Scott married to an Abraham Bensel 03 MAY 1797 Reformed Dutch Church, Shawangunk, Ulster, New York.
Also found an obituary for her published in the New York Times of July 15, 1856:
In this city, on Monday, July 14, Mrs. Martha Bensel, in the 81st year of her age, relict of the late Abraham Bensel. Her funeral will take place on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock from the residence of her son James B. Bensel No. 67 5th St. The friends of the family are respectfully invited to attend.
