This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/BRD.2ACEB/4443 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on William BENNET, b. 1717 in MD, d. 1815 in Marlboro Co, SC. William md. (1) Nancy Huckston in 1769 in MD, by whom he had two children, William and Elizabeth. After Nancy died, William remarried and had several more children. Here is where confusion comes in: Various reports suggest that William md. Octavia/ Olivia Chears and/or Rachel Chears, and had between 6 and 13 more children. I am beginning to "suspicion" that Octavia, Olivia and Rachel are all the same woman! At any rate, my 5th great-grandmother is supposed to be one of William's children by CHEARS, her name being Margaret "Peggy" Bennett. I'm getting pretty desparate to find (a) the REAL name of William's second wife and (b) a complete and accurate list of his children by this second wife. I have been told that "the CHEARS bunch" was from South Carolina. Can ANYONE help? Thanks. Earline Long-Zlotkowski San Antonio, Texas
