Person:William Bennett (157)

Research of Bob Mitchell: "Deed Book 13, Page 139, dtd 3 Dec 1849 'William H. Bennett & wife to Griffin Avitt, Power of Atty--W.H. & wife, Temperance, formerly Temperance Jackson of Co. of Decatur, State of TN to receive for us a sum of money in the hands of Darling Rushing, guardian of said Temperance Jackson $200 more or less her portion in the estate of John Jackson deceased late of Union County, NC. Attest: William G.Rushing/John Garrett.' This record proves Temperance was a daughter of John Jackson and therefore John Jackson was the husband of Rebecca Rushing. Temperance and her husband William H. Bennett were living in Decaturville, Decatur Co., Tennessee in 1850."
