Richard Bennett
(Abt 1703 - 3 Aug 1764)
[[Category: DNA AOI 237225]]
== Biography ==
Richard and Anne Bennett were probably originally from Virginia, as family descendants did not seem to realize that they had lived for many years in North Carolina and documented through their writings that the family was from Virginia. Their friends and neighbors were from Surry Co. and other southern Virginia counties, but at this writing it has not been determined exactly where, nor has it been proven who their parents were.The first time there is a record is when on 11 Aug 1741 Richard received 200 acres of land in Edgecombe Co., North Carolina on lower side Buffalo Branch from King George II, paying four shilling proclamation money for every hundred acres yearly, cultivating three acres for every hundred within three years. They made their home here. In 1746, Edgecombe Co. was divided and the part in which they lived became Granville Co; in 1764 Granville Co was divided and they lived in the section that became Bute Co. In 1779 Bute Co. was abolished and their plantation on Buffalo Creek was in Warren Co. Thus, their home was always in the same place, but records of them are found in all four counties. We also find records in Halifax Co., where Richard had some land. Richard was probably born in 1700-1710 and died in Bute Co. about August 1764. Anne died in Warren County about 1779-1780.
They had ten children, five boys and five girls, as follows:
1. Christian Bennett b ca 1731 probably in Virginia and died in
Union County, SC about 1803. She married Absolom Langston, Alexander
Fairborn.
2. Sarah Bennett b ca 1733 probably in Virginia and died after 1810
in Laurens Co. SC. She married Solomon Langston
.
3. Richard Bennett Jr b ca 1734 probably in Virginia and died in

4. Mark Bennett b ca 1738 probably in Virginia and died in

5. William Bennett was b about 1741 in Virginia or North Carolina and died about 1826 in Pendelton Co., SC. He married Sarah Unknown and
