I am not related to the family at all, I am only a transcriber of records. But I am so very sorry to have caused you distress. I am sure that you have gotten his death certificate and his marriage certificate. Have you checked to see what name he used on the deeds to his property? Might also check the Commission Minutes to see which name is used on their records. What about the Confederate records from the Georgia Archives. Now you have a real mystery to solve. That is what makes genealogy so much "fun." The 1900 U.S. Census does show Daniel H. Bennett, head of household, born Feb 1843, with wife Emma S., born Aug 1851, Waresboro District, Ware County, GA. Also shows Charles A. Bennett next door... Born Sep 1877... Richard G. Bennett born Dec 1858... I have attached the copy from the newspaper & THE HISTORY OF WARE COUNTY. I may have to use another mail service as Yahoo gets prissy about size of attachements. If they are not satisfactory, send me your name & address & I will send a zerox copy to you.
