Several of us are looking for the parents of John Bennett b. ~1775, who married Sarah Wolcott [1779-1852]. Found this and wonder if anyone has something on the Bennetts mentioned. James Morris was a private in the Monmouth Militia when captured in the skirmish at Atlantic Highlands in 1777. He remained a prisoner for fifteen months. He was married on February 2, 1781, to Lydia Patterson in the house of her father, John, at Middletown. Her sister Deborah was married at the same time to William BENNET, Sr. Jacob Davis, a Baptist minister, performed the dual ceremony. James Morris died in 1820, the son of Samuel and Hester (Patterson) Morris (SHGM 4:54). -- joe
