    • John Bennett was not listed in the tobacco tenders for Overwharton Parish in 1724, while his presumed brothers William and Mason were listed. The 1724 tobacco tenders do not list children under 10, so his date of birth is likely after 1714.

  • Notes 
    • A John Bennett patented land in Prince William Co. in 1742. I am certain that John is related to William and Mason but don’t know exactly how. It seems most likely that he is a younger brother of William and Mason. The land patented by John Bennett ends up in the hands of Mason Bennett. Deed records show that the parcel of land patented by John Bennett was divided and later sold by Mason Bennett to two different buyers. Although John Bennett is not mentioned in these deeds, you can verify that it is the same property he patented by the land descriptions. Because Prince William is a burned Co., many of the deed records are lost, so I do not know how the land passed from John Bennett to Mason Bennett.

      29 June 1748. Deed of Gift by William Spiller to John Maysey and granddaughter Mary his wife. Land adj. Land of John Bennett. (Deed book L, pgs 32-33).
