Bennett-25433 and Bennet-1164 appear to represent the same person because: Their last name is spelled with two Ts in the 1840 and 1850 federal census and on their headstones in Lincoln Cemetery in Penbrook, PA. I have a sneaking suspicion she is the sister or other relation of Sergeant Horace B. Bennett of the 54th Massachusetts, but not sure yet.
