Birth name: Bendix Abraham Weinberg - known as Benedict A. Weinberg
Arrived in Baltimore, MD on August 2, 1834 on the German boat Die
Freunde, which likely sailed out of Hamburg. He was listed as Bendin
Weinberg from Westercotten, and his occupation is listed as 'mercer',
i.e, a dealer in dry goods. It is thought Benedict lived briefly in
New York before settling in Charleston, SC.
The US Census lists Benedict as a tailor and a drygoods merchant.
Took on US citizenship July 31, 1871. Moved from Charleston to
Darlington, SC ca 1885.
