Hi TJ, There was a close relationship of some sort between the Bennetts and Harps and I believe that Nancy Harp who mar Levi Bennett was a sister of Benager Harp b ca 1794 and I think they were both children of Tobias and Delilah Harp. These 2 Knox County, KY surveys were recorded on the same date and may help. The Amos Bennett listed is my ancestor born 1791. Knox Co., Ky, Jan 7th 1817 Surveyed for LEVI BENNETT Assee of JOSEPH PEACE, Assee of WILLIAM STEPHENSON, 50 acres - Ky. Land Office War #1200 dated Oct 3, 1816 on Middle Fork of Big Poplar Creek.

Bennett or Joshua Roscow listed as Assee;s (Assignee's)? Might give a clue as to where our Bennetts came from.... Janet Foster

Janet, I have a Nancy Harp (b. abt. 1812, d. 1882) who married William Tye (b.1807, d. aft.1887) in 1828. Her father's name was Benager Harp (b. 1794, d. 1863) and her mother's name was Jane Moody (b. 1794). Could she be related to the Levi and Nancy (Harp) Bennet you spoke of in the post below? Thanks, TJ I'm pretty sure that Levi & Nancy (Harp) Bennett only had 2 sons; Wm Bias and BenAger. I was wondering if the "other Amos" might have been one of the 3 sons of John Bennett. What happened to them? The other Bennett sons have been accounted for, but who were the three sons of John Bennett? As for the Reece on the 1850 Whitley County Census, I believe he was a Brummett and per Kathleen Stanfield Cook's "Index of 1850 Whitley County Kentucky Federal Census" Reece Brummett was married to Elizabeth Miller 3/5/1847 (?Knox Co). Guess that was a second marriage. As for the Rose girls who married Bennett boys; I probably should not have mentioned it as (I think) I only have the hardcopy record, by the late Glenn Johnson of California, stashed away in a box somewhere. I doubt that I had source information with it any way. From memory, it was regarding information on the Bennetts, Langstons, and Roses of Granville Co., NC and had to do with the Elizabeth Rose who married Edward Bennett. Seems like two of her sisters married Bennetts and one of them was named Amos/Amous. I do have a lot of information that I would like to share; it's just finding the time to do it! _________________________________________________________________ Get McAfee virus scanning and cleaning of incoming attachments.

Janet, This other Amos Bennett b. 1810 is mystifying. Is it possible he is an older brother to Wm Bias (Tobias) Bennett, being probably the first-born of Levi and Nancy Harp Bennett who married in 1809? But where has he been? I guess he could have been living anywhere, really. Does anyone have access to a census record of Levi listing his male and female children, maybe 1810 thru 1830? You question whether he could be the 1850 Amos Bennett listed with wife Elizabeth and state that the names of children don't match up with those of your Amos b. 1791. I missed this completely and am very interested in the names of those children. What I did find on the 1850 when I had access some years ago was Whitley 1850 census (this is all I jotted down; I've learned better since then; The handwriting was awful, it LOOKED like Bocce, Beece, Reece Bnunet): Reece (?sp) Bennet (?) 59, NC Elizabeth 57 TN Kissiah F 15 TN Susannah 6 Do you, or others have any info on this family? Could this possibly be the same listing you mention above? Of course the age is far off from 1810 Amos; this one indicates birth abt. 1791. Would sure like to know more about an Amos Bennett who married one of the Rose girls (per your observation at the last). Janet thank you for anything you have or can find; you are a whiz and I for one appreciate it.

I know this is a long shot but I've pretty much exhausted family sources with no results so here goes. In the old Reed Cemetery in Mountain Ash, there is a grave marker that simply reads "BIG MAMA". That's it - no dates or anything else at all. Does anyone have a clue who this person could be?? Thanks in advance! Deena Beckman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
