A Bennett family researcher has been so kind as to share a huge amount of information with me on the Bennett family. I don't know if this is the same Bennett family as yours, but I will try to check over the weekend.

As to knowing if the men of the 6th are the one that you are related to, the microfilmed records of the men *sometimes* includes their location of residence. This was sometimes recorded when they enlisted, and it was sometimes recorded on paroles. I have also found it occasionally on hospital records. So there is hope that this piece of information is in their files.

Also, keep in mind that men did not always join companies which were primarily formed in their home counties. Sometimes they joined a regiment that was just passing through; sometimes they went to another county in order to join with a relative; and, sometimes they were conscripted and assigned to whatever regiment needed them.
