I am researching Wm Bennett, d. abt. 1806 in Barren County, KY. His land was given to his son, Stephen Bennett. A Wm Bennett purchased land in KY 1780 on the South Fork of the Elkhorn as did Stephen Bennett. In Wm Bennett's will he also mentions land on "Puncheon Creek" in Tennessee. My theory is that he may have traveled west from VA, NC,? This is all guesswork. However, in the "Annals of Southwest Virginia 1760-1800 there are four references to a Wm Bennett in Washington County VA. One is Wm Bennett, wounded Private in Wm Christian's Cherokee Expedition, Aug., 1776. Also a possible land deed between Campbell & Wm Bennett 1775, land on South Fork of the Holston. Other Bennetts mentioned are Isaac, John and Richard. Would anyone on this message board have a connection to this Bennett line or possible assistance in researching materials? Does anyone know if the Clerk's office in Washington County has deeds for 1775 time period? Thank you Sharon
