    1. [KYWHITLE] The "other" Amos Bennett d 1870

    3. Listed on US GenWebKy Whitley 1870 Mortality Schedule South America Precinct 1 Name - Amos Bennett Age - 60 (born c1810) Sex - m Mar status - widower Place of birth - KY Mo died - June Occupation - farmer Cause of death - consumption *Note from Linda G. Murtaugh who typed this schedule: The numbers preceeding the names are the household numbers (of the household in which the individual would have been) on the 1870 census. ================================================== Household #88 is Bennett, W.B. age 46. This is William Bias (Tobias) Bennett, son of Levi Bennett and Nancy Harp - per S. Withers ================================================== My ancestor, Amos Bennett, Sr. was born 7/22 1791, therefore, this record is either not my Amos Bennett, Sr. or else the age on this record, the marital status and the state of birth are wrong. And why would he have been associated with #88 W. B. Bennett household (s/o Levi) instead of any one of his eight children? My Amos Bennett, Sr. would have been 78 or 79 years old in 1870 and he was not a widower as Sarah was living in 1880. 1880 Census - Whitley Co., Ky. #102-105 Bennett Benjamin 62 Catherine 62 Elizabeth 18 Sarah ? 80 or 90 mother NC (mid-wife) - (age is not clear) Could the Amos Bennett born c1810 have been one of the 3 sons of John Bennett listed on the 1810 and 1820 census records? Could he have been the Amos Bennett w/wife Elizabeth listed on the 1850 census? The 1850 census was not a listing for Amos Bennett born 1791 TN as none of the children match up with the children of Amos and Sarah (Hamblin) Bennett. Could he have been the Amos Bennett who ?? married one of the "Rose" girls? Janet Foster
