The Bennett's settled in Westmoreland County and some moved down to Richmond to farm. They (William Bennett) purchased in "1876 a valuable plantation within nine miles of the city of Richmond Virginia. ...for the last fourteen years on this Virginia plantation which contains 1,140 acres." My Great Grandfather lived in Richmond area and my grandfathers' mother passed away (Nellie Haycox) and Thomas remarried. I know nothing about my several grandfather Bennett half brothers or sisters. Thanks for taking the time to send information. I doubt I went as far south as Miss but who knows.
