    3. Hi List Here's another will, closely related to my earlier post of that of John RULE: The Will of James BENNETT, yeoman of Camborne, written 26 Nov 1803, proved 9 Apr 1804, PCC. Mentions: son, Robert; son, Jonathan (stated to be in an apprenticeship); son, James; son, Matthias; son, William (deceased); daughter, Ann RULE and "her children" : William Bennett Rule - under age 14 - is named as one; grandson, Nicholas VIVIAN - under age 14; grandson, Joseph RULE - under age 14; wife, Jane BENNETT - sole executrix; sons in law, Captain John RULE & Nicholas VIVIAN. The Will also mentions a house and dwelling in Wheal Kitty Mine, Camborne "now in the occupation of John BISHOP, William THOMAS, and James RABLIN; and a house and garden in Rosewarne Wartha, Camborne, now in the occupation of Humphry STODDEN. Witnessed by Elizabeth JEFFREE and John GRIBBELL. James BENNETT was buried on 4 Jan 1804 at Camborne. I think he is the James baptised on 8 Jan 1737/38 at Camborne, son of William BENNATTS. He married Jane ALLEN at St Hilary on 3 Apr 1769 - the register refers to "Mr James Bennett, of Camborne, and Miss Jane Allen".
