William Bennett, born 1757 at Sheffield and apprenticed to a table knife manufacturer there, went to the Carolinas but evacuated as a Loyalist at the end of the Revolution with his sons Charles and Marshal. He went to the Mosquito Shore and then on to Belize, where his brothers were merchants, but returned to England and set up in business as a hardware man at "Ipswich Arms," Cullum St., Fenchurch St., London, and died there. He was buried in the North Church Yard 11 Mar 1804. Is there a tombstone with MI? I searched for his will at the PRO (now the BNA) without success, and also asked at the Guildhall without success. Does anyone know where his will might have been probated? Appreciate your help! Sonia in the U.S.
Have you tried the London Metropolitan Archives.
