| 1009 | 3 males 5-10, 2 males 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 2 females under 5, 1 female 5-10, 2 females 10-15, 1 female 30-40. John Pepper and William McAdams are close neighbors of George Bennett. This supports the conclusion that George Bennett of Choctaw Co., MS is the son of Thomas Bennett and Ruth Pepper. George is listed in the estate papers of his father as living outside the state (South Carolina). The daughter of William McAdams marries Calvin C. Bennett and all move to Leon Co., TX. This suggests that Calvin C. Bennett is the son of George Bennett of Choctaw Co., MS. | Bennett, George (I9182)

Bennett and Fannie is living with her father W.S. Scott. Both are listed on the same page. In the 1930 census for Fulton co., GA, Fannie H.

| 1026 | A John Bennett patented land in Prince William Co. in 1742. I am certain that John is related to William and Mason but don’t know exactly how. It seems most likely that he is a younger brother of William and Mason. The land patented by John Bennett ends up in the hands of Mason Bennett. Deed records show that the parcel of land patented by John Bennett was divided and later sold by Mason Bennett to two different buyers. Although John Bennett is not mentioned in these deeds, you can verify that it is the same property he patented by the land descriptions. Because Prince William is a burned Co., many of the deed records are lost, so I do not know how the land passed from John Bennett to Mason Bennett. 29 June 1748.

| 1046 | Alfred appears to be the son of Joshua Herron. Alfred is listed immediately next door to Joshua in both the 1840 and 1850 Census of Pickens Co., SC. Alfred also named his first son Joshua. So far, I have been unable to locate Alfred in the 1860 census. On March 14, 1861, Alfred enlisted for service in the Civil War as a private in Company E of 1st SC Regiment, known as Orr's rifles. He died of disease in Belle View Hospital, Richmond, VA. At the time of his death, Orr's rifles had not yet been engaged in any fighting. | Herron, Alfred (I6202)
|
| 1047 | Alfred B. Herron died in a hospital in McPhersonville, SC on either the 10th or 12th of February, 1862. Both dates of death are given in his service records. The Confederate Roll of the dead gives his date of death as 30 Jan 1862. | Herron, Alfred Burton (I6203)
|
| 1048 | Alfred Burton Herron enlisted in the Confederate army on 23 Aug 1861 at Walhalla, SC. He served in the Twelth Regiment South Carolina Infantry, Company K commanded by Captain L. B. Johnson. His brother-in-law, W. F. G. Brewer, also served in the same Company. Service records show that he died in a hospital in McPhersonville, SC on either the 10th or 12th of February, 1862. The service records name his widow as Caroline Herron of Pickens District. | Herron, Alfred Burton (I6203)
|
| 1049 | Alfred Herron and Elizabeth Maloy appear in the 1840 census as a married couple with an older woman in the household. The older woman is likely Jane Maloy who is listed in their household in the 1850 census. Since there are no children in the 1840 census, they were likely married shortly before this census was taken. | Family F1974

| 1050 | Alston Keziah (25), aka Thomas, and his wife Elizabeth A. (21) appear in the 1860 census in Union Co., North Carolina. Their household includes Coldwill (4) and Mary J. (1). They are listed immediately after Coleman Shelby, the father of Elizabeth. | Keziah, Thomas Alston (I4201)
