Yarmouth, Maine, regarding the ancestry of my great grandfather, Joseph
G. Mansfield, I received a response from Katherine P. Tinker. She cited no
sources. In that letter she wrote:
..."Stephen was born 1783 the son of Job and Mary (Hook) Bennett.
However, on the hand-drawn chart that she attached, Stephen is shown
as the son of Job Bennet and Mary Harridan and Mary Hook is shown as
Stephen's grandmother, the wife of another Stephen Bennett."
"Stone Sloops of Chebeague", chart, p. 96. "When Old Father Bennett was
preaching on Long Island, you could hear him on Chebeague - when he was
preaching on Chebeague you could hear him on Long."
