JAMES LAFAYETTE BENNETT
I have reached a dead end in searching for my Bennett lineage with my great grandfather, James Lafayette Bennett.I have no record of his parents or siblings.Family records record that he was born December 30, 1853, and died September 6, 1907.I found his tombstone between Joplin and Duenweg, Missouri near the mine fields where his sons worked.The death date matches, but the birth date is one day and one year different.He was married to Nancy Ann Barrett who died May 30, 1921.They had eight children: Rosa Viola, Charles Wesley, Henry Thomas (my grandfather), James Edgar, George, Cora Isabella (who gave me this info more than 25 years ago), Iva Pearl, and Harrison (who died in infancy).I suspect that James L. migrated to Missouri to work in the mines.I have not been able to link my family to any other Bennetts.Can anyone help?
