  Father	Micajah BENNETT,   b. Abt 1758,   d. Abt 05 Jul 1824, Georgia  (Age ~ 66 years)
  Mother	Mary SNOW
  Married	Bef 31 May 1781	Virginia   [2]
  	Thomas Snow named a daughter, Mary Bennett, in his will. From other records, we know that there is a relationship between the families of Peter Bennett and Thomas Snow of Bedford County. Thomas Snow, Jr. married Rachel Bennett, daughter of Peter Bennett. Reuben and Micajah Bennett moved to Wilkes County, Georgia in the late 1780s settling on Kettle Creek. Wilkes County records show that Mark and Henry Snow, sons of Thomas Snow are also on Kettle Creek. The husband of Mary Snow was likely a son of Peter Bennett. The only sons of Peter whose wives are not proven are Reuben and Micajah. However, Wilkes County records show that Reuben's wife's name was Elizabeth. Therefore, this researcher believes that Mary Snow was married to Micajah Bennett.
