  • Name James BENNETT  [1
    Born Abt 1755  Halifax County, Virginia Find all individuals with events at this location 
    • James Bennett & Benjamin Bennett first appear in the Pittsylvania County tax list in 1773 with their tithe charged to Wililam Bennett. This indicates that James and Benjamin were still minors at this time. James and Benjamin are first listed on their own in 1776. If this indicates that they had reached the age of majority, then we can estimate their birth year as 1755. Since James & Benjamin first appear as minors the same year, and both are first listed individually on the same year, it is possible that James and Benjamin are twins.
