Bennett-20181 and Bennett-1411 do not represent the same person because: Richard Bennett born before marriage of William F. Bennett

Linda, I have never seen anything on "Jonnie" Bennett. Can you share your documentation related to him? My family's research (mine and my aunt's) shows Eleanor is the wife of William F Jones Sr. I have never heard him called "Jonnie". I am open to the possibility; but, would like to see the documentation before approving the merger. Please respond. Thanks, Bill

Hello, William,

I've tried to add sources to show that previous documentation recorded here was wrong. Is it possible that someone confused the nickname "Jonnie" with William's brother, Jesse Johnson Bennett?

I believe that you meant to write "William F. Bennett, Sr." rather than "William F Jones Sr," correct?

Anyway, hope my research helps!

Linda

P.S. I found a " Capt. Jonnie Green" as the father of Louis Byrum Green, who married Nancy Ann Bennett. Maybe that's where the error of the name "Capt. Jonnie" originated. In other words, the correct name for this profile would be William F. Bennett, Sr., and can be merged.

Bennett-31382 and Bennett-1411 appear to represent the same person because: they share the same birth year, the same parents, the same siblings, the same spouse, Eleanor "Ellen" Tippett, and many of the same children.
