    (In 1858) Yesler sent his Indian "wife" to live with Jeremiah Benson, Zetterberg said. An 1870 census of the Benson household includes Julia, born in 1855.
    An 1871 census shows house servant, Julia Benson, living with H. L. and S. B. Yesler.
    "Seeing her listed in the census as Yesler's house servant was startling," Zetterberg said. "As far as I could see, he was caring for her, without having to reveal anything."
