Hello Jenny
I wish I could be of morehelp. I have most of the same information that you have but have not beenable to find any more information on them. This is my husbands line andwe have been spending more time trying to find the parents of Martha'sgrandmother- Susanna Huff Bennett
I will try and keep in touch and let you know if I find any additional information. Where do you live? Are you in Wisconsin? How do you connect to this family? My husband's gggrandfather was Caleb Bennett who was a brother to the Mary Ann Bennett that married John Ross Miller.
