Author: svikaros Surnames: Bennett/ Bond Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.bennett/9182.2.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My genealogy records are packed till summer but I think Joseph is the son of Samuel Bennett b. c 1803. Some have posted MD but I believe it is VA. He married Nancy Bond of MD. I think they may have first lived near Nancy's parents and then obtained land in Silver Creek, Ohio. This would have been an area set aside as the Virginia Reservation land to full fill bounty awards for Military service. If this Samuel turns out to be my Samuel of Accomack, VA he was awarded land related to his father's military service. Documents were processed about 1833 as to this inheritance. Joseph had a brother Edward. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
