Hi hitherto unknown Shirley : ) I see Gary has clarified some of the Bennett family history... Gary also clarified two glaring errors in my family history... I am deeply indebted.
Okay... I descend three different ways from Zadock Bennet5 NEP and Mercy Hacket, as follows...
Eric Edward Little8 , Helen Pearl Thorpe7, Joseph Henry Thorpe6, William 'Henry' Thorpe5, Eunice Jane Rogers4, Lemuel R Rogers3, Eunice Bennet2, Zadock Bennet1 and Mercy Hacket
Eric Edward Little8 , Helen Pearl Thorpe7, Joseph Henry Thorpe6, William 'Henry' Thorpe5, Eunice Jane Rogers4, Phebe Bennett3, George Bennet2, Zadock Bennet1 and Mercy Hacket
Eric Edward Little8 , Helen Pearl Thorpe7, Joseph Henry Thorpe6, Selina Huntington Rogers5, James Moore Rogers4, James Rogers3, Eunice Bennet2, Zadock Bennet1 and Mercy Hacket
...so my relationship examiner says Larry and I are fifth cousins one generation removed : ) ...likewise Gary is a fifth cousin of Larry one generation removed... our common ancestors being Zadock Bennet and Mercy Hacket.
Thank you for your posting. I have Hester Ivey as a daughter married to Reginald Ivey, son-in-law, both being mentioned in the probate record for Giles Bennett. Eric

When Jessie & Lawrence moved back from Toronto, they actually lived in Medford not Canning, just down from the road from me. Bonnie, their youngest, worked for us for years.

Hi folks, Gary, I'm missing Jessie Vera Bennett. Can you tell me where she fits in the family of Giles and Annie. I have 15 children for this family. Thanks Dawn

Good morning Dawn : ) Okay, I would like to take a try at listing the children of Giles and Annie... Shirley and Gary have sent enough clues that I think I understand my confusion... the first major clue was Shirley`s revelation that Jessie had an alias, Hestor Barbara, and the second major break through was Gary`s finding Jessie`s obituary... and Gary`s and Shirley`s confirmation that Hattie had not married. I now see Giles and Annie`s children as follows... i George `Reginald` ii Percy Guy iii Laura Ann iv Hattie b 11 Oct 1900; d 11 Jan 1941 Watertown (thank you Gary and Shirley) v Joseph Henry vi Amos Benjamin vii Minnie Blanche viii Delbert John ix Daisy Priscilla x Myrtle Lucy xi Margaret C xii Edith N xiii Charles Leslie xiv Theresa W xv Jessie Vera aka Hester Barbara m(1) Reginald Ivey; m(2) Lawrence Brown
Now when Shirley first introduced Jessie to us, Shirley said Lawrence`s mom is Jessie Esther and Ester is not too far away from Hester... the obit came out as Jessie Vera but obits are not always without correction. Anyway I think Gary and Shirley have made a neat collaboration in clarifying the members of this family. Thank you. Eric

Thank you Eric, I finally have the family straightened out. I noticed that you posted your line from Zaddock Bennett and Mercy Hackett. So, I added some of that info to my site. Can you please tell me who your mother married and then I can add you to my site :) I come down through 2 of Zaddock and Mercy's children, Elizabeth Bennett and Zaddock Bennett Jr.
