Bennett was not appointed guardian because his wife died about the same time as his mother and he had to support his 3 kids; Maryann, Lucy and William H. Don't believe the William who married Altman was his father as Lucinda and Altman were having kids at the same time. After Bennett died at Lynchburg, his kids were cared for by their grandparents Jessie and Bethemy Crawford. When Maryann married George W. Smith Jr. in 1866 she became guardian. I don't believe Bennett's father ever made it to Hills. co. I have seen the probate records of William who married Altman. It is very extensive and mentions almost everyone but Bennett. He also owed Jake Summerlin $24 for 2 weeks of cow hunting. Adminstrator was Bailey and Noah did the inventory.
