RE: Yancey BENNETT, male Is it possible that the name Yancey as a first name was taken as a namesake from one of the ancestors with that last name as a sort of marker? Just an idea, no facts to go on. No connection with Bennett found yet. If I see one, I will let you know. See Nancyward.com YANCEY is used as a SURNAME here. Euro/Cherokee ancestry. Also see "B" for BENNETT. _Click here: Seventh Generation_ (http://www.nancyward.com/b59860.htm#P59862) Victoria
