CENSUS:

I cannot find Benjamin or Arie in 1860. There is another Benjamin Reese born in about 1830 in Georgia. His father is Joel Reese of Warren Co. Since that Benjamin is living in his father's household in 1860, we can be confident that Benjamin the husband of Ara Abbott is the son of John W. Reese.
