Hi Mamie:
I really don't know.My gggrandfather Nathan Bates, born 1796 in VT, moved to NY prior to 1820, and ended up in Steuben Co. raising at least 7 children.The only way we are connected is if your Bennett was one of Nathan's two sons that I haven't been able to find their names, or if he could possibly be a younger brother of Nathan.There again, I have been able to find out very little about my line while they lived in NY, so for now I guess it remains in the "possibility file."Sorry I can't give you more.If anything turns up I will post it.
Sincerely
Les Bates
