• Notes

  The father of Thomas Fullilove Bennett was Richard Bennett who died in Granville Co., NC in 1786. He left a will dated 5 Mar 1785 and probated 1786 (WB 1:268-269) He names a wife Anne, sons Thomas, Micajah, Bartlett, Lewis, Peter, and William and daughters Frances Bush, Anna Duke and Sarah Estis. I have no documentation of Anne's maiden name. On 10 Nov 1772 Joseph Bush sold 100 acres of land to Thomas Fultilove (sic) Bennett (Albemarle Co., VA DB 6:64-66). Frances Bush acknowledged the right of dower. Frances is the daughter of Richard Bennett and is named in his will as noted above. This provides the connection between the Bennetts of Albemarle County, Va and Granville Co. NC. Richard and at least four of his children, Micajah, Bartlett, Thomas Fullilove, and Frances Bush, are living in Albemarle Co. at this time. On 9 Nov 1779 Thomas F. Bennett and his wife Elizabeth sold this same tract of land to Robert Richeson (Albemarle Co., VA DB 7:403-405) This shows that Thomas Fullilove Bennett's wife was named Elizabeth. Most researchers believe that Thomamas Fullilove Bennett married Elizabeth Perry. However,Thomas Bennett and Elizabeth Perry married in Bedford Co., VA in 1784, five years later than the above deed which names his wife Elizabeth. The Bedford Co. marriage bond also does not give a middle initial for Thomas. Notwithstanding I believe Thomas Fullilove Bennett married twice, first to an Elizabeth of unknown last name, and second to Elizabeth Bennett Perry. Elizabeth Perry is a widow. She is the daughter of Peter & Frances Bennett. (Note: Peter is the son of [3]
