• Notes

  It appears that Thomas Bennett and his wife, Nancy Barr, had only one child. They were married in 1826 and had only one child, a daughter, in both the 1830 and 1840 census. In the 1850 census, Thomas Bennett is enumerated adjacent to John W. Hargrove. John Hargrove and his wife, Rachel Carolyn Bennett Hargrove, are both buried in Alta Vista Cemetery where Thomas is buried. It appears that Rachel Carolyn Bennett Hargrove is daughter in the 1830 and 1840 census and that she is an only child. (Hat Tip to Naomi Alvis)
