I have some questions about this family.  Ancestry.com has completely different parents for Prou. According to them, Prou's parents were Thomas Benson, born in 1690, and Sarah?, and their children were Charles, Prou, John, and Enoch. I can't be sure, but I think my information is better and others on Geni.com agree with me. If I ever find out otherwise, I'll update this.
