Charles and Polly Saunders Benbow were Julia’s grandparents.
They had the following children:

• Paris Schrader (male)
• Jesse (male)
• Thomas (male)
• Julean (female)
• Charles Dewitt (male)

Jesse was Julia’s father and he had the following children who lived to adulthood and had children (these are not all of his children):

• Pricilla
• Charles Rufus
• William Egar
• Julia

Children of Charles Rufus (Julia’s brother) on this document are:

• Ella Merriman (and her son Benbow)
• Pearl Benbow
• Murrow Benbow (male)
• Jimmy Benbow

Children of William Egar (Julia’s brother) on this document are:

• Annie Edgerton (Paul is her husband and other Edgertons are their children)
• Bessie Stafford (“Louly” is her daughter, Mary Lou)

Jesse’s brother and Julia’s uncle, Thomas, had a son John Thomas.
The children of John Thomas on this document are:

• Willow Benbow
• Venice Goodman (and her son Ed, Jr.)

Jesse’s sister and Julia’ aunt, Julean has the following child on this document:

• Eugene Kyle (and his wife)

Others on this document have not been identified.

The dating for this document was based on Ed Clinard Goodman, Jr. probably being one of the younger, if not the youngest, child on this document.  His mother, Venice, was born in 1900 and married in 1925.  Since it appears that Ed signed his own name, he would probably be at least 7 years old.
