Conversion Story:
Little is written or known about the conversion of the Bennetts. Which is odd because from the documents I have found, they were one of the first 100 members of the church. The earliest mention of them is a particular night of persecution when David was pulled from his sick bed and beat. Then he was shot in the head (the bullet grazed his scalp). This happened in 1833 in Jackson Co. Missouri, so it can only be assumed that the Bennetts were baptized before that time. For the full story click here. David Bennett was a captain of 50 that came across the plains in the James Pace Company. You can read about his journey here. But again sadly there is nothing that I can find about his conversion.
