Married first to Ava E. Shaver on March 1, 1911, in Randolph County, Arkansas. She was born Jan. 10, 1891, and died a mere 2 1/2 months after they were married, on May 16, 1911, in Randolph County, Arkansas.
Married 2nd to Alberta Ruth Wynne, daughter of James Robert Edward Lee Wynne and Myrtle Etta Wortham, on June 26, 1921, in Vinton, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. They had three children: 1. Sterling Wynne "Winnie" Bennett born Nov. 9, 1925 -
He was the 4th child and 2nd son of Henry Sterling (or Swann?) Bennett b. Oct. 21, 1855, in Buffalo, Ripley Co., MO., d. April 17, 1916, in Shannon, Randolph Co., AR. and Sarah "Sadie" Jane (or Josephine?) Pratt b. Oct. 13, 1859 in Iron Co., MO., d. Feb. 2, 1924 in Randolph Co., AR.
His marriage record to Ava Shaver listed him by the initials of D. S. and several census records also indicate that his first name may well have been Dorothy. Why he was named as such I do not know. But it seems clear he was referred to as "Dot" rather than Dorothy. Also his Texas Death Certificate has his name recorded as STERLING D. Bennett.
His Texas Death Certificate (State File No. 25119) also reports that he had lived in Beumont, Jefferson County, Texas, for 49 years until his death there in 1966. His death certificate listed his occupation as "Attorney", his cause of death as "Arteriosclerosis Heart Disease", his father's name as "Henry Swann Bennett" his mother's name as "Sarah Josephine Bennett". Both of which, of course, are incorrect. His father's name was Henry Sterling Bennett and his mother's maiden name was Sarah Jane "Sadie" Pratt.
