    2. 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/102.3189.1 Message Board Post: Tina: I just visited this board for the first time today and discovered your July 2002 post. To bring you up to date, the William Edward Bennett married to Willie Ann Lee you asked about was actually William Elijah Bennett born in 1866 in Mississippi. Willie Ann Lee was his first wife and the children from that marriage were Mable, Hubert, Fairy, Effie, Dale and Edward. After Willie Ann's death, William Elijah (Willie) married Minnie Ione Springer. Their children were Homer, Guy, Miles, Hayes and Thelma. My Maternal Grandfather was Hayes. I remember that your Great Grandmother Mabel was buried the same day that my Paternal Grandfather Foley was buried and that Granddaddy Bennett agonized over either going to Arkansas for Aunt Mabel's funeral or staying in New Albany for Granddad Foley's. We sent him on to Aunt Mabels and your family may remember seeing him there. Grandaddy was the baby of Pa Bennett's 2nd set of children, born when Pa was 46 years old. Aunt Thelma! is the only surviving child of William Elijah Bennett and is in her 90's. Good to hear from you. Bengie Foley
