My great grandfather Edward BENNETT was born in Sambourne which is in the same area. His father was William BENNETT. It is possible that the BENNETT's who married into your PENN family back in the 1700's may have moved into this area. I wonder if our William is a descendant. I need to confirm a birth date and obtain a birth certificate (around 1850) for Edward to find out who his mother was before I can track back any further.
