Hi Roberta, I have a female BENNETT, perhaps Eliza, who was a Godmother to one of my eight O'CONNELL children from a NY, NY O'CONNELL = CLARK marriage circa 1860. If you look into the Rootsweb Archives, probably in NYC-L, I once posted names of all the Godparents. At the time I found her, I was composing a thesis based upon my family's genealogy and focused then on my direct line. Now I'm searching collateral lines.

There is an Ellen Bennett who came to New York on ship David Cannon in 1850 but I have no way of proving if this is her . Does anyone have a connection to the Ellen Bennett who came on that ship in Jan. 14 1850 . Roberta ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
