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/6238 Message Board Post: I am a descendant of James M. Bennett & Mary (AKA May) Bacon Bennett. James was born 3/11/1836 & died 10/17/1897, Mary Bacon Bennett was born 6/2/1837 & died 7/16/1920. According to the 1880 census some of their children were Bartow, Lugene(?), Donnie(?), Oscar, and Eula Bennett who is my GG Grandmother who married Sylvestus Chamblee in 1879. James & Mary are buried at Bethlehem Cemetery in Forsyth Co. We are pretty sure that James is the son of Peter & Anna Bennett who are also buried at Bethlehem Cem. According to the tombstone, Peter was born 9/27/1806 & died 3/12/1878, Anna was born 12/17/1819 & died 1/9/1881. When I looked at the 1850 census, I found Peter Bennett (HOH), Anna (Wife), and several children, Edmund, Drury, James M., & Nancy. We aren't sure if this Peter is James' father or mere coincidence. My Mom found a pedigree of a Peter Bennett dating back to 1533 but this Peter Bennett was born in Wilkes or Wilkes Co. GA. I doubt it is the same Peter Bennett but you! never know. I saw in several of the messages on the message board that there are possibly 3 lines of Bennett's in Forsyth Co. If you have any information you could pass along to me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joni Smith [email protected]
