    Hello to another genealogical buddy, Sharon GAVIN, out of Sacramento, California. I am putting out an APB (all Points Bulletin) to all Bennett Researchers to CHECK YOUR DATABASES right now for James Warren BENNETT, Sr., (b. abt 1803) and Jr. (b. April 04, 1847 in PA). If you find more info than what is on this website, let Sharon and I know. Write Sharon at   Click here to send a message.bungusamebe@yahoo.com or write me at maxcbennet@aol.com

27 Jan 2006 - Just got in a reply from Harmonydawn McMillan.  Click HERE for her information on James Warren Bennett


     Hello to my newfound cousin, Sherry Constable HANNAH, from Greenfield, Indiana. 
Her gr gr grandfather (Owen Evans BENNETT) was also my gr gr grandfather! I was raised 
on the west side of Indianapolis, and she grew up on the southeast side... whoda thunk??!! 
I created a whole site dedicated to Sherry's family (The Constables) as they relate to 
the Martha Clarinda BENNETT. You can view it by clicking HERE.

    My new genealogy buddy is Virginia (BENNETT) KOLB.  She is a true Bennett as her 
mother's AND father's ancestry are Bennett's (not too close, I assure you.. everything is 
respectable!) She helped me tie a bunch of Bennett's together including two (count 'em TWO)
new Benjamin BENNETT's ) Benjamin BENNETT, b. 1735 and his son, Benjamin BENNETT, 
b. abt 1785-1790, that I didn't know existed.

    With the help of my cousin, Wylene Sue (BENNETT) ARNOLD, I have added an entire 
new branch of Bennetts. Look here to see the line of Aaron Greene BENNETT.

Teasers

    I love putting teasers on different ancestors. A Teaser is a confusing issue or link 
that I cannot verify! Instead of simply marking it as a dead-end, I will highlight it boldly 
so YOU can help me solve the discrepancy.  Teasers are always well marked and 
encourage YOU to help all of us confirm or deny if it is for real or not! It is not a riddle, 
but I question everything and I want you to help me confirm or deny with sources.

Living People    If I don't know you, I won't list your name. If I know you, 
I probably will list you unless you have a problem with that (let me know!) If you 
are deceased, I'm guessing you won't write me to complain so you go on the list! 

Blue Text    On all pages except this front page, my comments and my research 
is in blue. If I use a source, it will be in black text.

Green Text    On all pages except this front page, text in green are the comments, 
opinions and research done by someone else. If they quote a Source, the quotation will 
be in black text.

Black Text    On all pages except this front page, black text are facts from a 
source. Quotes from a source are also in black.

Red Text    Rhetorical questions and deep thoughts.

Lighten Up! 

    Hey.. lighten up... have some fun! Imagine if all of the other Bennetts who you DON'T know are as crazy as YOU!!  :))

    All names have hyperlinks because I am a genealogist with serious personal issues! Can we talk?

    Well, I am Max Carlyle Bennett, son of James Hamilton Bennett, Sr. My first name is Max as I was named by my mother, Kathlyn Joahne Forney, after her sister,  Maxine Hope Forney. My middle name is Carlyle because my grandfather is 
Kelley Kalar Bennett
and, so the story goes, his middle name was pronounced Carlyle (or Carlisle), but his Indiana accent had him always saying "K'lar" (by the way, my dad called spaghetti "pasketti", a sink was a "zinc", and supposedly 
becomes "supposebly". So maybe grandpa Kelley was right after all, and it's the rest of us who are all goofed up.)

    I am 42 years young with boyish good looks and a fetching grin. I am a retired U.S. Army Warrant Officer. I have been stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO; Lowry AFB, CO; Ft. Campbell, KY; Izmir, Turkey; Redstone Arsenal, AL; Ft. 
Drum, NY; Dhahran, Saudi Arabia; Seoul, Korea, and Redstone Arsenal, AL again!

    I am from Indianapolis, IN.  I have a Masters Degree in Technology Management from the University of Phoenix; a Bachelors Degree in Sociology from the State University of New York (now Excelsior College); an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts from Harold Washington College (City Colleges of Chicago); and, a Certificate in Electronics Technology from ITT Technical Institute in Indianapolis, IN.  I went to elementary school at Van Buren Elementary School, Plainfield, (Hendricks Co.), IN; and The Baptist Academy (Villa Baptist Church), Indianapolis, IN. I graduated High School at Good Shepherd Baptist Academy, Camby, IN (the school is now in Mooresville, IN).

    I have been doing genealogy for many years now... I even had my own business, "Bennett's Genealogical Services" a few years back but Uncle Sam keeps tossing me around the world so I had to give that up. My current project is the Cemeteries of Redstone Arsenal, AL. It is my intention to document all cemeteries (there's about 50 of them) on this military installation in Madison County, Alabama. I will put the results on the Web for all to view once I get through a bit of bureaucracy.

    Love y'all.. mean it.

Max
