"Governor Richard Bennett stated on February 12, 1657, that he was born in the Parish of Wivelscombe, Somerset, and was then aged forty-nine or thereabouts. He was proven to be a nephew of Edward Bennett by Virginia records, and therefore was a son of one of Edward's five brothers. According to the parish records previously shown (Richard chr. 6 Aug. 1609; son of Thomas), he could not have been a son of William or Richard, and Christopher is not shown to have had any children. Robert's children are not shown in the Wivelscombe registers so probably were born in London. Thomas had a son named Richard who was christened in Wivelscombe August 6, 1609. Christenings often took place long after births. Phillip, a young brother of this Richard appears later in Virginia in connection with Governor Richard."
