    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACI/1006.1475.3.1.1 Message Board Post: I am interested in the Bennett Barton name. I have an ancestor ISAAC BENNET/BENNETT who I have found in Somerset Co., PA as early as 1792. He had a daughter Hannah who married a Mr. Barton around 1800, this Mr. Barton (no first name found) died by 1809, Hannah remarried in 1809.. They had 3 daughter's. Reading through the Wood County messages I see that this Bennett Barton had a connection to a woman by the surname of SHEETS. There is a David Bennett in Somerset County, PA (possibly Bedford county, due to the timeframe of the county formation) who married a girl by the surname of SHEETS. And I also find a DILLMAN SHEETS in the area between 1788-1793. I am wondering of all these names have some sort of connection. Isaac Bennett made an agreement in 1801 with RICHARD NICHOLS (also found him under NICHOLSON) in which Isaac wants to "swap" 2500 acres of land in Somerset county, PA with Richard who owned land in Wood county, VA (of course this would be WV now) Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I do have more information on this land swap, as far as locality goes. Thank you in advance, Lisa
