Diane, the 1860 Census looks like Amah Bennette or Annah Bennette and the
Mary Bennette must be her dau. In 1870 Rolling Garmon is in Bedford Co TN,
HH 106, listed as age 74, blacksmith...next is Fanny, age 35, b. TN (I feel
like this is the same female listed as Amah in 1860 because she is now under
the name Garmon, then Easter age 18 and then Mary F. Bennette, age 13.
Roland's name was "Rolen" in 1860 and "Rolling" in 1870. Hope this helps
you. Mary Winham
