Thomas Bennett 1570 - 1640 was married twice. The first wife was Antsie Thomson Spicer and NO not everyone has her listed with that name. Some have her maiden name as Thomson. Nevertheless Thomas and Antsie 5 children. ROBERT 1601 1648 THOMAS 1603 - 1668 WILLIAM 1606 - 1641, GOVENOR RIchard Bennett 1608 -1675 PHILLIP 1611 - 1648
Thomas's 2nd wife was Alice Elizabeth Snayle Pierce Her maiden name is Snayle. She married Thomas Pierce and when he died she married Thomas Bennett. Thomas and Alice Elizabeth had Mary 1625 - 1693, Richard 1625 - 1709 , Alice 1640 - 1677

The most confusing part of this family is that Thomas Bennett was married TWICE and had children named RICHARD with both women. The first wife had the son that became a Govenor. The 2nd Richard belonging to Thomas married Anne Barham.

Here is more confusion... There are 2 James Bennett's that keep getting combines and mixed with each other. James Bennett b 1668 belongs to Richard Bennett and Anne Barham The 2nd James Bennett is born 1682 and he belongs to Richard Bennett and Ann Pierce. This James Bennett married Mary Rogers. Most have the oldest James Bennett married to her. That is incorrect.

If you can get the two Richard Bennett's and the 2 James Bennett's accurate in your tree then you should have a more accurate tree . Genealogy is confusing because it was custom to name your children after your family.
