Although I am not (to my knowledge) related to your William Philip Bennett, I grew up in Amityville on Long Island, one block from a street named Bennett Place. This street was named long before my family moved to Amityville and was perhaps connected with your ancestor. I say we are not related since your William Phillip was of Welsh descent while I am descended from William Adriaense Bennet of Dutch or French descent, who was one of the earliest European settlers of Brooklyn, NY, having bought land from the Indians in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn in 1636. In any event, if I knew where Old Calvary Cemetery was located I could possibly help with your research. I am not aware of any such cemetery in the Amityville area. In searching the Internet I found a Guide to Long Island/Historic Burial Places ( http://www.lihistory.com/specguid/clist.htm ) with the closest named cemetery being Calvary Cemetery in Woodside, dating back to 1848. I doubt if this is the cemetery you are referring to, and in any event is too far away in Queens County while I live in Suffolk County. If you can identify where your Old Calvary Cemetery is located, I will let you know if it is near enough for me to pay a visit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- David A.
