Joan will know who I am as probably 6 yrs. ago we went to a small family reunion at her home in Neptune. Our mutual cousin Jack Frye was alive then and he attended. He has since passed over. Joan is in a picture at my 3 or 4 th birthday party and I also have a picture of her Mom in a group picture of Mom's at same party. I may have given Joan copies. If not when I get home to MA (presently in FL) I will have copies made. I am assuming the Joan you mean is Joan Bennett, b. 1936. Grace and I are the same age. This was helpful to me as I have a couple of direct Bennett lines in my Mother's family, founders of Belmar and early settlers of Wall Twp, then Howell Twp. or early known as Shrewsbury. I did not know Uncle Dorey Bennett, Walter Jacob Bennett's father. Jacob is for Jacob Haberstick, Walter's Mother's father. My father's middle name was Jacob too. Jackie > >
