There was a major edit that was reverted because much of it was disruptive editing - cited content replaced with uncited content, comments embedded in the article content, unhelpful and unnecessary edits, should use surname not first name, etc.
So, I'm going to summarize the items raised here - and comments:
Benajahspelling vs. Benejah - right now the nps site isn't loading. I see that his name is spelled both ways in books and publications from this query. Added a note that it's also spelled Benajah.
edit, "she did not contact Craig again," seems inaccurate, as books about her tell us she became teacher/governess to some of Craig's children. His son traveled with Delia to Vermont and seems to have enjoyed working with Delia's father, Benajah Webster.- Do you have a source?
Kentucky Jurisprudence,- added per discussion at the bottom of the list.
her father had taken her home to Vermont to recover from the ordeal of prior months, she had been subjected to harsh treatment during incarceration.- Do you have a source?
The Eisan book indicates she was involved in the Woman's Suffrage Movement.- Do you have a page number for that? Then, it should be reworded without mention of the book and adding a citation to the sentence. See WP:Citing sources - WP:ProveIt for a tool to format citations - or, {{ cite book}} for a template for citing books, you just need to fill the appropriate fields / parameters.
[[Trimble County, Kentucky|Trimble County, .Kentucky]]- Why was this edit made with the period before Kentucky?
Delia was specifically threatened with "assassination" according to books and newspapers articles about her.- Do you have a specific source? She should be referred to by her surname, per WP:SURNAME.
Delia called her farm Mt. Orison, others knew it as Mt. Airy, in Trimble County, Milton, Kentucky.- Do you have a specific source?
She did not have the financial resources to pursue the people she believed responsible and since the county was apparently run by the slave -owners, obviously laws seem to have been on their side. They succeeded in running financially destroying her and drove her out of the state of Kentucky.- Do you have a specific source?
The book by Eisan indicates she taught African American children at an African church school in Madison.- Do you have a page number for that?
Edit, this marker states it is a Kentucky Historical marker, not simply a highway "mile" marker. The county jail's Kentucky Historical marker states she was it's most notable resident.- Let's find a citation for the marker and this additional information.
This honor includes a watercolor of her that hangs in the exhibit in the Kentucky Capitol building.added to "In 1996, she was honored as one of the Kentucky Women Remembered." - Let's find a citation for this and the additional information.
*In 2016, correspondence between this editor, a Webster family member, and the NPS, National Park Service, indicate they will now be updating their website to expand upon Delia's role in the Underground Railroad, on their Footsteps to Freedom website.- This is not encyclopedic content. Once the website is updated, additional content of encyclopedic value can be added to the article, and cited appropriately.
*In 2016, social media accounts were developed to share Delia's story and fundraiser for a grave marker/tombstone for her unmarked grave. These accounts and Delia's Find a Grave are owned by a Webster family member, who is also this editor. The purpose is to share more information about Delia's role in the Underground Railroad. One of Delia's "followers" is Frederick Douglass' 3x GrGrandson Ken Morris, Jr. Please have consideration when editing the facts I have provided for my Great Ancestor, Delia Webster. The books and newspaper accounts referenced can be easily verified on her social media pages or easily found on the Internet.- FindaGrave is not a reliable source; it is an external link at the bottom of the page. Social media accounts are not reliable sources. Please add citations for reliable sources for any content that is added.

I've formatted this so it should be easier to respond. Just insert your comments after each item and indent using the colon, meaning your comment would start with ":" then type what you'd like. See WP:Talkpages for more information.
1. Delia's father's name. Not exactly sure what you wanted, I took a guess. I changed the spelling in the body of the article to Benajah and added to the footnote, including the mention of the genealogy book that I could view online. Facebook is not a reliable source.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 09:49, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
2. Regarding Eisan pg 148. Actually, both books, Eisan and Runyon detail the agreement for the "Webster Kentucky Farm Association" which had "By-Laws" several partners and investors, and a very complicated agreement.
I have no idea what the request is. The Webster Kentucky Farm Association is mentioned later in the article. Please word exactly what the content is that you'd like to add and the source and page number where the content comes from.–

3. Regarding that she was a businesswoman, she established the farm - so it might be more appropriate to say that she was a farmer - and there are plenty of sources for that. How is that?– CaroleHenson ( talk) 10:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
4. Regarding Eisan, page 94-95, notes Census info Children living with her & a separate visit to Vermont.
- It sounds like you are not satisfied with the changes and additions that I've made. Would you please word the additions that you are requesting.–

5. Regarding Response #5: Eisan book, pg. 127, I am adding a pic/screenshot of the Eisan book to the Facebook page. Actually it was extremely harsh treatment, a dark, cold, smoky room, unable to wash, comb her hair, she had only 1 set of clothes as she was not allowed to pack when arrested
. If you are extrapolating from an image that she had harsh treatment, this would be
original research. And, then if you are further stating that her father took her to Vermont because she needed to recover from harsh treatment, that is another instance of original research. If you want the article to state that her father took her home to Vermont to recover due to the harsh treatment that she endured in jail, then you need a source that says that. Do you have a book or another reliable secondary source that says something to that effect?–

6. Regarding she was involved in the Woman's Suffrage Movement
Eisan, p. 167. That is Done.–

7. No problem re: the period. Regarding the use of "piping" such as [[Trimble County, Kentucky|Trimble County, Kentucky]]
it only needs to be piped if you wanted to change the way it appeared. For instance, if you didn't want to show the state you could type [[Trimble County, Kentucky|Trimble County]]
otherwise, it's just [[Trimble County, Kentucky]]

8. Re: the use of surname: No problem.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 10:40, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
9. I am not sure what the point is, a source you read may have said assasination. The source I read said that there were plans made to plan to kill her and threats against her life. Since it's an encyclopedia article, the objective is not have a neutral point of view so less dramatic verbiage is preferred. So, in my opinion, it's better to go with the more neutral verbiage - the point is still clear, they wanted her dead.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 10:40, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
10. Regarding Delia called her farm Mt. Orison, others knew it as Mt. Airy, in Trimble County, Milton, Kentucky.
I added that Webster called the farm Mt. Orison. I don't know what you mean by others called it Mt. Airy (i.e., it was called Mt. Airy before she bought it? After her? At the same time?). Why is this important?–

11: All you say is Eisan, page168
, what is your suggested wording?–

12. I mentioned that I found another source for that info and it's done.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 11:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
13. I added the other marker info and the source.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 11:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
14 and 15. Doesn't look as if a response is needed.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 11:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
16. Ok, that's interesting - and I totally understand about the learning curve. The sources are just needed because it's an encyclopedia article and the content should be based upon reliable, secondary sources. See verifiable for more information, if that would help. It has nothing to do with whether or not you, or anyone else, would be believed.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 11:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
