Benjamin’s ancestors, the Farrells, originated from ‘The Crevice’ and they are pictured at the site of what was the Farrell homestead.

It came to prominence in 2016 when it emerged that the ancestors of Tim Kaine, whom Hillary Clinton chose as her running mate for Vice-President in the 2016 US Presidential election, were also from ‘The Crevice’.
