Ref (1) says Bennett was born 7 Oct 1708 and died 25 Oct 1775. Refs (2) and (3) say he was born 1 or 7 Oct 1708.

Captain Bennett Munro lived for sometime at the Munro place on the corner of Hope and Franklin Streets, Bristol, Rhode Island, but for the greater part of his life, he lived on the Mt. Hope Farm (now Church's) then owned by Isaac Royal of Boston. Royal was a Tory and his property was confiscated in the Revolution and purchased from the state by Gov. Bradford.

Bennett was Vestryman at St. Michaels Church, Bristol, Rhode Island. He was the second of six generations to hold that position.

Ref (3) says that all of Bennett's children came from his first marriage to Sarah Bosworth, but Ref (2) says Bosworth died in 1754.

Notes:

It is thought that the information for this William and William [6959] may be somehow mixed together. It is not certain which William married Elizabeth Corey. There are two death dates, 1777 and 1759. It is not certain which date belongs to which William.

His grave stone says he died 8 Oct 1777 age 58, which would place his birth in about 1719. Other sources say he was born 16 May 1726. Again, there may be two people confused here.
