13. | William Bennett (6.Elizabeth2, 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 This was part of a 575 acre grant originally made to John Palmer.

Notes:
West of the Minish tract was the Bennett place where Tapley Bennett lived. He was the father of Captain A. T. Bennett and Hosea Bennett. This tract was later the W. C. Hood land. The old home, or house, stood near T. J. Syfan's residence where the old chimney of the original house stood for decades. These boys went to California in the Gold Rush of 1849. Captain A. T. Bennett soon returned and settled near Apple Valley where he reared a large family. Hosea remained in Arkansas. The land of Tapley Bennett joined the land of Hardy Minish and Caleb Wood on the north and Isaiah Borders on the west. The Hardy Minish tract probably ran along about the Blue Bell Overall Plant in line with the depot near the present grammar school ground, lying west of this line and joining the Bennett and Borders line.

Transcriber's Notes:
The date Oct. 3, 1860 on the page labeled 'Births' appears to be the date that the information was recorded in the Bible. The bible is dated 1858, which is after the last recorded birth. The handwriting was the same throughout indicating that all information was recorded at one time. It is likely that Jesse and Nancy purchased the Bible about October 3, 1860 and recorded family births at that time.
This bible record was transcribed by David E. Bennett on June 9, 2000. The bible was in the possession of Sam G. Bennett, grandson of Jesse L. Bennett. Sam Bennett related that he found the Bible in a trunk in his home, which was purchased by Jesse Lewis Bennett in 1847.
