Hi Marlboro Is there anyone on the list who is familiar with the BENNETT family of Marlboro Co? There is some suspicion that a Mary BENNETT MAY have married Charles BRIGHT of Marlboro Co say 1780ish. First known child b 1782. See the following deed: DB 6/p. 52 10 Feb 1789--Samuel Ferebee and Sarah his wife and Griffith Douge and Frances his wife of Currituck to Charles Bright, yeoman of the same, land purchased jointly by them under the confiscation act, John Bennett's property, for 195 pounds, 129 acres and 3/4 in Moyock District, Nancy Douge's line, James Ferebee's corner, Goodman's corner, Silas Bright's line. w/ William Ferebee T.C. Ferebee Registered 10 Dec 1789 This is a comment by another BRIGHT researcher. John Bennett was apparently a loyalist during the Revolutionary War and his property was confiscated due to his collaboration. Interesting that two families jointly purchased part of the property and that both husbands and their wives had to execute the deed. Makes you wonder if they might have married John Bennett's daughters. I am wondering if there is a Mary who might fit the bill? Thanks very much julie [email protected]
