Hello Williamsons,
Is everyone socked in like us? It has either rained or snowed all day. Tonight a short post allowing us to see how far back our Bennett line stretches. This is yet another tie we have to England. The information is accurate as far as I know except for the link between our Great Grandfather Bennett Willis (100% sure our grandfather) to John Willis and Phebe Bennett (almost sure but can absolutely find enough credible sources to say it is 100%).
The Bennett family was centered around Chester Pennsylvania.
We start with the record of marriage of John Willis and Phebe Bennett (Quakers. Yes we come from a strong line of Quakers). The record of their marriage is recorded in the following book.

This is the typed from handwritten record of the marriage of our 5th Great Grandparents
Now the actual family line to the 1556. You'll see the first Bennett's lived in Sedgley. On a side note, I lived in England for two years and funny enough lived and worked in Sedgley for a couple months during that time.
Sedgley's Location in the UK
Overbury, England
Overbury's Parish Church
You'll then notice in the Relationship Chart the Bennett family moved to Overbury (see map below)

And now the Relationship Chart. I wish I had more information on this line (as in stories) but I can't find anything except for names and years. Regardless, it is interesting to see our family's roots extend across the Atlantic and then to see where they originated from.
Simply,
