She also said that her great grandmother is Taino.
Where did she say that?
In the video about Hispanic Heritage Month.
Looks like a young Arlene Martel.
You got the wrong parents for Stanley Benson.

Nels/Nils F. Benson, who was born in Landskrona, Sweden, and Martha Rachel Patterson/Pearson —> Swedish parents, Nels/Nils Frederick Benson and Martha Pearson Hoglund
Those are the same names/people as the ones in the genealogy I took it from/listed here. Though I didn’t know the Pearsons were also of Swedish origin.
I think Nils Benson and Martha Rachel Patterson were a different couple. They lived in Washington/Oregon and only had one child together (who doesn’t appear on any of the censuses I linked).

Hispanic->Puerto Rican [Spanish, African]
Puerto Ricans also can have Native American descent ( Taino) . Not only Spanish and African.
Definitely
