Richard Bennett is the son of Richard Bennett SR 1625-1709 and wife Anne Barham
( There is a discrepancy with his mothers age. There needs to be more research on Anne Barham and her age )
Richard is the HALF BROTHER to the Governor Richard Bennett 1608 - 1675
These two men are constantly confused with each other. GOV Richard was born to Thomas Bennett and Antsie Thomson Spicer .
This Richard was born to Thomas Bennett and Alice Elzabeth Snayle Pierce.
If you research Thomas Bennett 1570-1640 and his 2 wives then you will see which child belongs to which mother.
Richard and Anne Barham have 5 children on record.
Richard and Anne Barham have a son James Bennett b 1668
Richard Bennett 1647 -1720 and wife Ann Pierce had son James b 1682
(( Richard 1647 - 1720 is the son of Richard and Anne Barham ))
THESE TWO JAMES BENNETT's are often confused with each other.
It is difficult to distinguish between the Richard's and the Jame's of this family. It takes a lot of research and determination to make sure your tree is accurate.

Follow the JOHN BENNETT BODDIE book - 17TH CENTURY ISLE OF WIGHT CO VA
If you separate these 2 Richard Bennett's and the 2 James Bennetts then you'll have an accurate tree.
I can also confirm to anyone that everyone has different birth and death dates simply because it is difficult to get an accurate date when you are dealing with the 1600 and 1700s. It takes finding wills and accurate documents.. there again a lot of research and determination.

HE WAS NOT BURIED OR LOST AT SEA..
