• Notes

  Benjamin Bennett was born in 1801 and is tentatively identified here as the son of William Bennett. Benjamin Bennett's grandfather Benjamin had four sons: William, Thomas, Benjamin and Meredith. William and Thomas are the only two sons that were old enough to have a child in 1801. Thomas did not marry until 1803. By elimination, William is the most likely father of Benjamin.
