This may be no relationship to your family—I don't know where your Storey County connection comes in—-but there John Bennetts (mother's first name Violet) living in Silver City, Nevada. (Silver City is in Lyon County but just down the hill from Virginia City on the way to Dayton.) His family is a long time Comstock family.

John said the following at a Nevada Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on mining in the area:
I am a third-generation native of Silver City. I was born there in 1939, and my dad, my uncles and my aunts were all born and died there, as did my mother. My grandfather came there in 1873, and my grandma got there in 1886.

I don't know if John uses email—I haven't chatted with him in some time—but his phone number is in the white pages.
