I'm curious to know where YOU fit in on our family tree. I have this from the Early Marriage of Branch County, Book II. (From 1876-1887): Kanouse, Reuben B. 24, b. Columbia County, PA. of Jamestown, IN. Painter. m. Kate L. Bennett, 17, b. Ovid. of Bethel, on 21 Oct. 1876 at Bethel, by R.T. Martin (MG) witnessed by Brooks R. Amsden and Josie M. Amsden both of Coldwater. E178-6225. I'd be interested in hearing what you have on the Bennett family. I don't have much at all. I hit a brick wall with Kate until I saw your posting. I am tickled to have come across some new info. I do have a grainy picture of Kate and Reuben---may be a wedding photo? Because it is a generation not so far removed, would you happen to have any photos? I can help you follow Reuben and Kate's family down a couple of generations---at least until their grandchildren. They are all gone now. Many of the rest are still around and I would like to protect their privacy. I'm sure you understand. I would be more than happy to share what I have although it is more Kanouse than Bennett. How is it that you have the information on the Bennett branch? Are you an avid climber in our family tree? I started digging only last April and have uncovered a bit on any branch that I could stretch out on. Anxiously awaiting your reply... Beth
