1850 Census, Missouri, Ozark Co., Dist 45 - Show as 4 yrs old living with parents and family.
1860 Census, Missouri, Ozark Co., Dist not stated, Falling Spring Post Office, page 34 - Shown living with his brother Quincy and familyFrom: "Clyde L. Napier" <clmnapier@sbcglobal.net> Subject: Re: Gordon BennettTo: William Napier <napierwsn@comcast.net>
I just talked to Lowell Bennett's wife this morning by phone (he has a bad hearing problem so couldn't talk to him) and apparently she agreed that Lowell's grandfather was James Gordon Bennett, born 1844 brother to Nancy K. Bennett. Lowell's mother Vada used to come to the Marshfield reunions and Aunt Glaldys was acquainted with her I believe. They have a copy of the book "Ozark County Historical Book" about Ozark families. We looked at it briefly when we visited them a few years ago, but I would like to look at it again.
The printed information Lowell's daughter Sandra gave us did not show James Gorden Bennett's ancestors, just his wife's. I don't understand the "K P" in the census records, but I feel very sure in my mind about this connection that he and Nancy K. were brother and sister. A. Maxine

Nancy had a brother named James "K P" ? Bennett, born abt 1846 according to both the 1850 and the 1860 census so it doesn't appear that he is the same James. What do you think? Do you know the relationship?

Yes, that is correct. When we went to the Noble Cemetery south of Ava to see Mary Elizabeth Bennett Friend's tombstone we went on to the Herndon Cemetery near Almartha (mentioned by Aunt Gladys). We may have taken a picture or did a rubbing of the tombstones there a few years ago. Sorry, I didn't mention this.
