I have a couple of references that indicate Sarah (Sallie or Sally) McCubbin Bennett moved to Caldwelll County with some of her childred after her husband, William Bennett, drown in Hart County, KY in approx. 1832. One source indicates Sarah moved with all of her children except John (my great grandfather) to Caldwell County in apporx. 1842. This is the John Bennett that had 3 wives and 25 children. I have all the information on these children, etc. My sister-in-law still owns the farm we understand John homesteaded in the 1800's. This source indicates Sarah died Nov. 30, 1885 at age 94 in Daviess County. A McCubbin History prepared by Gleason McCubbin on Kentucky also discusses Sarah moving to Caldwell County.
