  • Notes 
    • Gwendaline Marguerite Bennett’s parents were Henry Clay Bennett and Mamie Buckley. [8]
    • Death date and location are based on a single matching SSDI record for a “Gwen M. Hambrick” born 1 Dec 1918. Although there is evidence of another Gwen Hambrick, born around 1918 in California, this SSDI record also indicates that this individual was issued her social-security number in Texas providing additional evidence that this record actually refers to Gwendaline Marguerite (Bennett-Herndon) Hambrick. [1, 4]
    • Although they married in 1962, there is evidence that Gwendaline Marguerite (Bennett) Herndon and Joseph D. Hambrick may have been living together as early as 1952. [1, 9]
