John Bennett 1626 -1691

From Dorothy Bennett Inderkum (1926-1998) (Author) and David Kendall Martin, FASG (Editor), “The John Bennett Family of Stonington, Connecticut,” (Church Hill, Maryland: Mouse House Ink, 2000), 1:

“The origin of John Bennett is unknown… The oft repeated proposition that he was a son of Edward Bennett of Weymouth and Rehoboth, Massachusetts, has no evidence one way or the other. It is not even considered by Robert Charles Anderson, F.A.S.G., in his important ‘The Great Migration, Immigration to New England 1634-1635 (New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, 1999) 253-4.”
