  1. Linda Hendrix Fortson

    James I have received records on this family being it is part of my husbands family. These records tell me that Elizabeth was a Bennett, that she never married. I do know who the father of the children were. On Elizabeth’s Death Cert. Julian gave the information which was my husband’s great grandfather. It also list her father as John Bennett and her mother as Nancy Jordon. Elizabeth is the one that is buried at the Chandler Cemetery. Her children were: Julian, Ambrose, Minnie, John, Beulah, Ona,and William.

    I really want to figure all this out.

    Thanks,
