    1. [ROOTS-L] Revolutionary War expert?
    2. BARTON LEWIS
    3. Is anyone on the list knowledgeable about the Revolutionary War? Two men named Richard and William Bennett lived in Georgia in the 1780s and received bounty land there. They are associated with families named Cook and Sheffield there. Richard and William Bennett as well as John Cook and Christopher Sheffield all appear on a detachment of levies for the Continental Troops 2d Regiment of Artillery commanded by Col. John Lamb. This regiment was made up of troops from NY, CT and PA. The Bennetts are believed to have lived in NC before moving to GA. It does not seem likely to me if that is the case that they are the men listed on the levies list. Does anyone have an opinion on that? Many thanks for any help in advance. Barton Lewis
