seven children, to rejoin her husband, John Richards, who had preceded the

killed in a mine.  In 1849 she was married to James Bennett of Barreltown and
has been a widow since his death in 1876.  Two sons and three daughters
resulted from the second marriage.  These, except one daughter and all the
children of the first marriage survive their mother, so far as known, some of
the latter being in the far west and not heard from for a long time.

Elizabeth's obit said she came to America with seven children but only 6 are
listed in the 1850 fed cens.  From their ages it is doubtful if there could
have been another child any place between them.  Elizabeth's obit also said all
children from the first marriage were alive at her death.

There are two other Matthew Bennetts
living next door to Elizabeth Matthew Bennett Sr. age 69 Miner b. England
Matthew Bennett age 39 Miner B. England
Both have wives and children.

Conflict on date of birth:
Family records say 1 Jan 1816/1818-Headstone said died age 75 yrs 3 days on Jan
3, 1893;Date of death and age at death calculates his birth to be 31 Dec 1817
but is likely the 1 Jan 1818.
