22. | William Bennett (15.Elizabeth3, 6.Thomas2, 1.Thomas1) was born about 1749. Other Events and Attributes:
- Residence: 1801, , Jackson, Georgia, USA
- Deed-Purchase: 03 Apr 1803, , Jackson, Georgia, USA
- Will: 25 Jul 1822, , Jackson, Georgia, USA
Notes:
Birth:
Pittsylvania Co., VA, DB 1, p. 391 - Creel from Cornwell
William Bennett and his father John are witneses to deed. John Creel and Peter Cornwell are prominent members of the Broad Run Baptist Church. William must have been at least 19 years old to have witnessed this deed giving a birthdate of about 1750.
Residence:
William Bennett appears to have moved to Jackson County in the later half of 1801. On 11 Apr 1801, William is on the tax list of John White in Pittsylvania County. He is absent from the 1802 tax list of Pittsylvania County. On 15 Jan 1802, Armstead Bennett purchased land in Jackson County from Jesse Bennett with Lewis Hardy as a witness. All are identified in the deed as being of Jackson County. Armstead is the son of William and Lewis Hardy is a son-in-law. Therefore, William likely moved his family to Jackson County between 11 Apr 1801 and 15 Jan 1802. His oldest son, Hezekiah, did not move with him, but followed a year or two later.
Deed-Purchase:
On 3 Apr 1803, William Bennett purchased 200 acres of land on Turkey Creek from John Hase (Hasey) for $450. This was part of a 575 acre grant originally made to John Palmer.
