Could my GGGG-grandfather fit into these BENNETTs you listed in your message that "Many of the Bennetts of Scioto County were descended from Thaddeus Bennett who came down river from Olean in 1815, or kin of Thaddeus. He came from Ephraim Bennett who started life in Ridgefield, CT in 1732, crossed the river to Warwick, Orange County, NY before 1765, and moved up the Susquehanna to Tioga Point about 1789. Ephraim is mentioned in the disposition of the house of James Bennett (1675-1725) in Ridgefield. James came from the Bennetts of Old Fairfield."
Any information on George BENNETT & family most appreciated.I am willing to share associated surnames information on this family.Thank you in advance.
