His wife was Sarah (Sallie) Register, born 1785, in Sampson County, North Carolina, daughter of John Register, R. S. They were married in North Carolina and soon after the birth of their first child, moved to Bulloch County, Georgia, where her parents had already moved. About 1827-28, the family moved to Lowndes County and located on the east side of the Alapaha River( territory cut into Clinch County 1850 and into Lanier County 1920). The children of John and Sallie Bennett were:
1778-1849
LANIER.

2. Elizabethb. 1807, m. Joel Griffis, of Clinch County.
3. Pollieb. 1813, m. James Carter, of Echols County.
4. Felixb. 1817, m. Rebecca Smith, daughter of Isaac.

7. Wileyb. 1825, m. Luraney Harnage, daughter of George.
8. Reddingb. 1829, m. Anne Harnage, daughter of George.
John Bennett died testate in 1849, leaving a will naming Dixon Bennett and James Carter as executors. They qualified in Lowndes Court of Ordinary, and sold the plantation and timberlands at public sale in January, 1852, before the court-house door at Polk, the then county site of Clinch County (name later changed to "Magnolia"). These lands were lots 466 and 501, 11th district of old Irwin County. Wiley Bennett became the owner of lot 501, and Barzilla Douglas of lot 466. The executors applied for dismission October 4, 1852, having closed out the estate.
Mrs. Bennett lived some years after her husband's death, and died about 1868. She and her husband were buried at Wayfare Church, of which she was a member for over twenty years. In the 1860 Census of Clinch County she was living with William B. Bennett, a son of Dixon.
