I do have Ancestry.
Where did you find the data in Ancestry? A bunch of what I have seen posted in Ancestry came from my gedcom done perhaps 18 years ago with LDS. That would be any that show gene3@aol.com as the source.
Howard C Bennett is the half brother of my wife's great grandfather George Arthur Bennett. Their father, Henman C. Bennett, was first married to Lucy Layman and George was their only child. After Lucy died, Henman remarried and the rest of his children were with Phoebe Elizabeth Hetherton.

I have several obits for the family plus of those two generations plus alumni history responses for Howard and his brother Charles to Syracuse University. Also bio information on Howard from the Methodist church including the obits for Howard and Leah done by their son H Curtis Bennett Jr.
Howard Jr. and Dorthea were both born in China.

Happy to share information.
