This is the cemetery where his parents are buried. His wife, Minnie Alice, always told him she would never bury him in the Bennett Cemetery because no one would maintain the cemetery. Based on the condition of this cemetery in 1992, it is obvious she was correct.

Olin also said her Dad did not want to be embalmed! Dixon-Rogers Funeral Home in Magnolia came to the home to prepare his body for burial in respect for his wishes concerning his burial.

William BENNETT was born in 1775 in probably Albermarle County, VA.⁽²²¹⁾ NOTE # 1

Gleason McCubbin's summary for James P. McCubbin shows William's marriage to Sally McCubbin. His birth is listed as 1775 and death as 1832. Gleason's history indicates family may have come from Rockingham County, NC. However, this speculation may be based on where his wife and her parents, the McCubbins, are believed to have moved from when they came to KY.

NOTE # 2

"The ancestors of William M. Bennett are unproven. The Missouri Bennetts have it that William is a son of Fisher Rice Bennett and Judith Hansen. There is a Fisher Rice Bennett in the records of Albermarle County, VA buying land and witnessing deeds in the period 1766-1776. Also, a 1790 census index (actually a 1782 tax list) showing a F. R. Bennett with 7 white souls."
