BOTH BENNETT families are located in surrounding county (Kentucky Twp., Nicholas Co., WV.) The BENNETT family that I suspect you are looking reads as follows: Census Place: Kentucky, Nicholas, West Virginia; Pg 109B Relation Sex Marr Race Age Birthplace Occ FaBP MoBP George W. BENNET Self M M W 30 WV Occ:Farmer Fa: VA Mo: VA Rachel BENNET Wife F M W 34 WV Fa: WV Mo: WV Mary D. BENNET Dau F S W 8 WV Fa: WV Mo: WV Charles W. BENNET Son M S W 6 WV Fa: WV Mo: WV Nancy C. BENNET Dau F S W 4 WV Fa: WV Mo: WV John H. BENNET Son M S W 3 WV Fa: WV Mo: WV Naoma R. BENNET Dau F S W 9M WV Fa: WV Mo: WV Jackson H. BENNET Son M S W 9 WV Fa: WV Mo: WV Above John H. "could" be Henry. There were several John BENNETT's in Nicholas Co at the time (some being MINE). Because they named one son Jackson, stands to reason that they may have named another Lincoln, or that someone's recollection was that it was a presidents name. The OTHER family was: Census Place: Kentucky, Nicholas, West Virginia; Pg 115A Charles BENNET Self M M W 39 WV Occ:Farmer Fa: WV Mo: WV Catherine J. BENNET Wife F M W 38 WV Occ:Keeps House Fa: WV Mo: WV Naoma C. BENNET Dau F S W 14 WV Fa: WV Mo: WV I also read you other quieries, I may have some LEADS for you on Jessey BENNETT if you'd care to contact me DIRECT. Best Wishes! Sandra HUMPHRIES RAEDEL
