In checking the 1860 TaneyCo,MO census, I find no BENNETT family enumerated, but 1870 census has 2 BENNETT families as follows in Scott Twp: #61 Lydia BENNET 35-AR James N 11-AR Sarah J 10-AR Martha COWEN 54-MO #86 Henderson BENNET 47-TN Dorcas A 38-TN Hila E 18-MO John L 16-MO Malinda C 6-IN William V 4-IN Alice F 1-IN I don't know if either family is your connection, Marian, but if so, can you identify spouse name for either or both family, i.e. husb/of Lydia and maiden name of Docas A??

There they were related to the Blackwell, Teague and several other early families.
