Wade is a craftsman, former Exec. Director of Historic Brattonsville, realtor specializing in historic properties, and is currently involved in a research project documenting the contractors, carpenters, and artisans of the up country in early times. He says: I am sure MESDA would have extensive data on Mr. Bennett. He was a well known gunsmith and MESDA would house the best records on him. MESDA is the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts in Winston-Salem, NC. You can google their research library. -Pelham Lyles, Fairfield County Museum, Winnsboro. Hope this helps.
