The following Note provided by Bob Mitchell: Family oral history has it that William Bennett left DecaturCounty for a short time and then returned. When he returned Temperance, his former girl friend had married another man. The story is told that William told James Holden Jackson, Temperance's brother, that if she would leave the other man he (William) would marry her. Apparently this occurred and they remained married until death, raising quite a large family in Obion County, Tennessee. In 1850 while living in Decatur Co., TN, William lists his occupation as Merchant. In 1870 while living in Obion Co., TN he is a farmer.
