Surnames: Bennett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BRD.2ACEB/4520.1 Message Board Post: The name is English. Most came to VA and spread from there. We are now looking in VA, NC, IN, ILL and TX.. Most of my Bennett family is from IN, ILL and TN.. We have a Benjamin N. Bennett born in NC. His father was John Madin Bennett from Brunswick, VA and then they moved to DeKalb County, TN.. Benjamin had a brother named Richard S. we know nothing about. One of these, most likely Richard, could be the father of your Issac. I have a greatuncle named Isaac (Ike) Bennett born in the 1850's.I don't know where he went from TN and or ILL.. I also don't know where his brother went , his name was Tilman. I do know my greatgrandmother ended up in Parker County, TX and maybe he is why they went. She named one of her son's after him. His name is Tilman Bethel Creach. My greatgrandmother's name was Sarah Candis Bennett and she married John Charles Creach in TN.. So, your Issac could be my Issac. You can e-mail me with ? etc. Jeanne
