Daughter of Antonietta Frances (aka Antonia Francesca) Capocetta and Lorenzo Polletta who emigrated with their infant son Augustus from Ferentino in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, Italy to Chicago, Illinois, United States in 1911. Adele and her sister Regina were born in Illinois. Youngest sister Lorenzena was born in 1918 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their father died about 1918, either in Illinois or Pennsylvania.
In the 1920 US Federal Census, Augustus and Lorenzena are enumerated in separate orphanages, both located in Ward 44 of Philadelphia. Adele, her mother and sister Regina have not been located in 1920.
In 1929, 16-year old Adele married Henry Capel Jones from Richmond County, North Carolina. He was a highway truck driver.
Henry and Adele Jones are enumerated on April 22, 1930, as being married one year and living in Philadelphia. Their firstborn child, Adele Jones, was born the following day. Also in 1930, Adele Palletti's widowed mother, brother and two sisters are found living together in Philadelphia.
By 1931, Adele, Henry and baby Adele had relocated to his hometown of Rockingham, Richmond County NC. Three additional children (Henry Robert, Richard Lawrence, Charles Ray) were born before Henry died at age 44 in 1946. The children were ages two through fifteen.
Sometime after 1963, Adele married widower John Roy Bennett. She resumed use of her first married name after Roy's death in 1973. Adele Palletti appears on his death certificate as wife and informant.
Two dates of birth are found for Adele. 21 Sep 1912 is on her birth record. 19 Sep 1912 is on her death certificate.
Her maiden name originally appears as Polletta. It is seen on all her parents' records and on some for Adele. Of her three siblings, brother Augustus formally changed his name to Palletti. Adele seems to have adopted Palletti also. As the informant on both her husbands' death certificates, she spelled it Palletti. A son's obituary has Paletti (sic). Her immediate family seems to know her as Palletti.
