Dorothy Bennett
(Abt 29 Aug 1564 - Aft 1603)
[[Category: Wiveliscombe, Somerset]]
==Biography==::Due to her notable brothers, Dorothy has a large number of entries in family trees that can be found with a quick google search. I cannot find any sources other than a mention in her fathers will.
::As her family studiously baptised all their children why is she not in the transcripts.
::However a Dorothy daughter of Robert is shown baptised 15 April 1615 in Wiveliscombe. I suggest the date may be a typo. Other than the will there appears to be little proof of Dorothy's existence.

::She is noted with a married name of Shepard. Again no source.
::She had the questionable honour of being baptised into the LDS if she knew this I cannot tell. But unlikely.
::She is however mentioned in Robert Bennets will dated 1603. She was alive in 1603 and received an inheritance of 50 ukp so was I guess still in the UK.
