| 2005 | While not conclusive, there is strong circumstantial evidence that Sarah's maiden name was Pinkethman. The register of Charles Parish in York Co., Virginia records five births to Matthew Hawkins and his wife Sarah. The names of the children as recorded in the register are Thomas, Martha, Pinkeman (Pinkethman), William and Rebecca. At this time, it was common to use the mother's maiden name as a given name for a son. Therefore, the son named Pinkethman suggests that Sarah's maiden name was Pinkethman. There is also some documentary evidence to support the maiden name. A Rebecca Pinkethman died in 1707 in York County and left a will naming a son Thomas and a daughter Sarah. Both would have very young at the time. Sarah, wife of Matthew Hawkins, had a daughter Rebecca who is likely named after Sarah's mother. | Pinkethman, Sarah (I3210)

|
| 2036 | William Bennett appears in the 1801 property tx list for the Shores Reed District in Stokes County. He is not listed in 1800. This places his date of birth about 1780. Census records give William Bennett's age as follows: 16-25 in 1810, born between 1775 and 1784 26-44 in 1820, born between 1766 and 1784 45+ in 1830, born <=1775 These records place his date of birth about 1775 -1780. His father Benjamin was living in Pittsylvania County at the time of his birth. | Bennett, William (I9369)
|
| 2037 | William Bennett is identified as the father of Salley Bennett in the marriage record of Lewis Hardey and Salley Bennett. | Family F1385
|
| 2038 | William Bennett is likely the son of Benjamin Bennett, The identity of his mother is not known. Benjamin Bennett lived in the Shores Reed District in Stokes County. William Bennett also appears in the same district on the Stokes County tax list when he comes of age. William apparently lived his entire life in Stokes County. He is listed in the U.S. Census in Stokes County in every census from 1800 until 1850. In 1810 and 1850, he is listed in the Shores Reed District. | Bennett, William (I9369)

William's son James is listed as a landowner. These facts suggest that William Bennett moved to Montgomery Co. in his later years with sons James and Thomas. James and Thomas eventually returned to Pittsylvania County. It is likely that William Bennett died in Montgomery County before their return to Pittsylvania County. The DAR Patriot Index indicates that William Bennett died in 1783, probably in Montgomery Co. No will has been found for William Bennett or Hannah Bennett. | Bennett, William (I303)
