Hello: Please research the century R.B. Bennett's ancestors emigrated to Connecticut. The page states it was in the 18th century. I believe this is wrong.

I am a direct descendent of Henry Bennett jr. born in 1647 Lyme Connecticut. This is a different line from the Ipswich Bennetts as proven also by Y-dna. My father is R.J. Bennett, my grandfather, W.A.C. Bennett, my uncle W.R. Bennett. We are cousins of R.B. Bennett. My father just asked me where is the Benjamin? It is from the R.B. Bennett side of the family. I dropped Benjamin from my name for simplicity.

I tested with Family Tree DNA.com a few years ago. I now find my Y-dna matches in the R1b1 Cohen project. My dad's family finder results from Family Tree DNA give consistent support for this distant R1b1 Cohen Y-dna placing. As does the tree at littlescottishcluster.com My closest matches are with Cochrane, Massey, Wilson. In this tree you will find Jewish surnames such as Draghici.

Even R.B. Bennett's mother's surname Stiles is a match to my Y-dna.

Signed,
