• Notes

  Meredith Bennett was the administrator for the estate of William Sizemore in 1826. Caty Sizemore, widow of William Sizemore, petitioned court to allow Meredith Bennett to serve as administrator in her place of her husband's estate. It is possible that Meredith Bennett married a daughter of William Sizemore.
