Hello, I just joined the group. I was unable to open the newsletter which was sent as an attachment. What sort of file is it or what do I need to open it? I just bought a new computer but it doesn't seem to have the right program. Thank you. I am a Bennett from the descendants of Marion Frances Bennett in the History of the Bennett Book: Eight Generations to 1960. Marion T. Bennett was a U.S. senator from Missouri and was one of my great-grand uncles. The immigration pattern was: England to Virginia Virginia to Kentucky Kentucky to Illinois Illinois to Missouri They were also in PA for a while during one of their migrations. They traveled for about 200 years with a family named REDMAN. Many intermarried. Other associated family names are: Drake, Cox, Dean, Dawson, Marrs, O'Bannon. Common first names amongst early Bennetts included: John, Basil, William, Phillip, Mathilda, Lucy. Also Isaac, Lutetia, Samuel and others. Many are still in Kentucky. Many are still in Missouri. I don't know about Illinois or Virginia yet. Others moved out to California, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas; Washington, D.C. and New York City. amongst other places.
