Soldiers of the Old North State at the
Bennett Farm (North State Rifles): James
and Nancy Bennett had two sons, Lorenzo and Alfonso, and a daughter Eliza.
Both sons answered the call to the Confederacy, but both died in the first
years of the war. They are buried in Virginia cemeteries. Eliza lost her
husband in the war, leaving the Bennett family without any assistance in
operating their farm. The American Civil War destroyed the workforce of
many Southern farms such as the Bennett's |
