Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bennett-1899

James Bennett is the son of Richard Bennett, Jr., and his unknown wife, eldest son of Richard, Sr. and his wife Ann. James is remembered by his father when he made his Will in 1720, and was given 200 acres from John Cofer's place. [1]

On March 15, 1741, James patented 190 acres in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. The land was located on the south side of Nottoway River, bounded by Ridley's Branch. (Bk 20, p. 199) On July 10, 1745, he patented 382 acres in Brunswick on both sides of Gravelly Run, adjoining Edward Jackson (Bk. 23, p. 946) In 1748, James received a grant of 404 acres in Brunswick County, Virginia, on both sides of Rocky Run.

James made his Will on November 11, 1751 and the same was probated March 1, 1752 as follows:

• "To my son Benjamin Bennett all land lying between Honey Bottom and the upper line.
• To my children James Bennet, Mary Proctor, Frances Simms, Priscilla Dugger and Joseph Bennett, one shilling each.
• To my son Reuben Bennett all the lower part from said Honey Bottom and plantation;
• to my dau. Brambley Bennett, bible and furniture, etc.
• to wife Mary rest of estate, seh and son Reuben to be executors. Teste, John Dugger, John Ducke and Edward Parrish."

James married Mary Rogers, daughter of William Rogers and Elizabeth Cartwright. Mary Rogers is probably not the first wife of James, as she is too young to be mother to his eldest two sons. Also, James is twelve years her senior. Mary is listed as Mary "Bennit" in her father's will in 1727, Surrey County, Virginia, so that helps establish the date of their marriage as before 1727.
