Son of Mathias Bensmiller and Catherine Scheer.
First married Hannah "Anna" Heisdorffer, daughter of Valentine Heisdorffer and Anna Holtz.. Anna and Peter had two sons, Mathias, b. 1862 and Peter Jr., and a daughter Catherine.
Second married Barbara Beck, daughter of Martinus Beck and Anna Müller. Peter and Barbara wed on 14 January 14, 1865 in Keokuk County, Iowa. Barbara and Peter's children are Mathias, b. 1866, Margaret, Anthony Jacob, Barbara E., and Joseph Henry.
Children with Anna
1. Mathias Bensmiller, 1862–1954, married Anna Schmitzer
2. Peter Bensmiller, Jr., 1864–1927, married Barbara Ann Conner
3. Catherine "Katie" Bensmiller, 1864–1931, married William H. Strohman
Note: In Peter's obituary, his daughter Catherine is attributed as daughter to Barbara, rather than Anna. But, the math doesn't really work. Catherine was born one month (July 1864) prior to Anna's death (August 1864). Plus, Peter and Barbara were not married February 1866.
