 Parents & Maternal Lineage TBD

Spouse:  John Bennett 1624-1668
Married: 1655 at Somerset, England

Children: 5 

1. Robert Bennett II 1656-1688

3. Ann Bennett 1661-1662
4. Richard V Bennett 11662-1694

Some controversial sources name Mary Bennett 1667-1738 as the maternal grandmother of President George Washington:  Mary Bennett & Joseph Ball, parents of Mary Ball & Lawrence Augustine Washington, parents of President George Washington. This would make her father, John Bennett, the great-granduncle of President George Washington, and her Great-Grandfather the second great-grandfather of George Washington, making Mary Bennett and George Washington second cousins once removed.
