Description An account of the resource [page 3] [corresponds to unnumbered page 1 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] OUR GRANDFATHER, DANIEL BENNETT, JR. DANIEL BENNETT, Jr. was born just one hundred fifty years ago. Cities, states, colleges and churches always recognize in some special manner the completion of one hundred fifty years of their history. It is cus- tomary also, to celebrate the sesqui-centennial of the birth of our statesmen, authors, artists and others who have made a worthy contribution to our heritage. It would seem equally appropriate for us to recognize the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the birth of this forefather of the Bennett Family - especially so, since he was a person so worthy of our admiration and esteem. We, Louise Bennett Pinney and Raymond Durling Bennett, have become increasingly interested in the last few years in learning what we can about our family back- ground and heritage. We hope we may be able to add some details to the valuable study published by Aunt Mertie Smith in 1924 under the title "Genealogy of Immi- grant Edward Bennett and Descendants", as well as to ex- plore some other branches of our ancestry. We are hoping that time and health will permit us to compile some of our findings so that they will be of interest to younger generations as they have been to us. As we have been comparing and exchanging our information recently, the question inevitably arose: What could be more appropri- ate, in this year 1969, than to tell the story of the forefather of us all - our grandfather, Daniel Bennett, Jr.? Grandfather Bennett was born March 8, 1819, one mile west of Center Village, in Harlem Township, Delaware County, Ohio. He lived all his long life of eighty-three years within a mile of his birthplace; but his life, his interests and his influence were much broader than the boundaries of any one small locality.

Since so much of the life and experience of at least three generations of the Ben- nett family - and also of our closely related families - Adams, Mossman and Durling - is centered in Harlem Town- ship, a brief statement about this township may be of in- terest. Harlem Township is located in the extreme south- east corner of Delaware County, Ohio. The land of the township is almost uniformly level, except near the lower parts of two small streams that eventually feed into Big Walnut Creek. According to J. R. Lytle's History of Delaware County (1908), the character of the soil of Har- lem Township "is the most uniform of that of any of the eighteen townships of the county. It is a deep black loam, and very productive: the general yield of all ce- real and vegetable products in the township is much above the average for the county. There is no waste land. The timber in the native forest was luxuriant.... Almost the entire population is engaged in farming.... Along and near the lower part of Duncan Run there are extensive stone quarries, which produce Waverly stone of the very best quality, but they have been worked very little." Small wonder, is it, that several pioneer families of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, decided to settle in this area? Every history of Harlem Township tells the fol- lowing story relation to what is now the south-west quarter of the township: *Benajah Cook was a Connecticut Yankee with a college education, who came to Ohio in 1805 -06. Mr. Cook and his family traveled to Ohio by wagon and carried under the rear axle a bucket of lard, in which was buried the family fortune, in gold coin. When they reached Granville, they camped out and Mr. Cook started looking for land to purchase. Land sales were frequently conducted by the Franklin County Sheriff at Franklinton (now a part of Columbus) and land speculators attended these sales and dominated the bidding. If an outsider tried to buy the land they would run up the price on him. Terms of the sales were cash in hand. *Earl M. Murphy - The Adams Family History 1750-1967. and J. R.

Description An account of the resource [page 5] [corresponds to page 3 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] Benajah attended some of these sales and became familiar with their methods. When he learned that 4000 acres of the land that he had chosen were to be sold to the high- est bidder by the Sheriff, he immediately prepared him- self with the necessary funds, as he hoped to make the pur- chase in case he became the lucky bidder. He was going among strangers, of course, and was liable to be robbed. For his own protection, he dressed himself in old clothes covered with patches and rags, permitted his beard to grow long, put on a dirtier shirt than usual; in short, he presented an appearance of wretchedness and poverty. Beneath his patches and rags, he concealed his gold coin. No one suspected that he had any money or was other than a beggar, and when he commenced to bid, the rival bid- ders assumed that his bidding was a farce and ceased their competition. The going price for land at that time was about two dollars an acre. Mr. Cook bid 42 cents an acre, and when no one bid against him, the bidding was closed. He then ripped off his patches, dug out the gold coin and paid for the land, 4000 acres, $1680.00. Mr. Cook kept 500 acres and sold the rest, which included the area in which the homes and farms and activities of Grand- father Bennett and his father and some of his brothers were later located. OUR GRANDFATHER, DANIEL BENNETT came from a long line of American pioneers which begins with Edward Benet, who came from Wiltshire, England to New England about 1636. According to genealogical historians, the Benets of Wiltshire, England are considered to have been the most ancient family of that name in England. The fifth generation of the family in America, included ISHMAEL BENNET, SR. (1730-1820), who was the grandfather of our grandfather, Daniel Bennett, Jr. Ishamael Bennet was born in Rhode Island, later moved to Connecticut, where he married.

He served as a private in the Revolutionary War. With his children, he was in Pittston Fort at the time of the Battle of Wyoming, Penn- sylvania, July 3, 1778. The surrender of this fort to an army of English soldiers and their Indian allies was followed by the notorious Wyoming Massacre, one of the most bloody and revolting incidents of the entire War, in which the Indians, after the capitulation of the fort, began the most ruthless torture and massacre of those, who had surrendered. Ishmael, with his three children, es- caped from the massacre, but he was able to observe some of the murderous orgy from a safe distance. After the War, about 1783, Ishmael married Abigail Weeks, whose husband and three sons had been brutally murdered by the Indians at Wyoming. Abigail, after experiencing the deep tragedy of Wyoming, became the mother of a second family of five children. Years later, in 1816, she and her husband moved from eastern Pennsylvania to Harlem Township, to join their son Daniel, who had come to Ohio a few years earlier. She was then 65 years of age. She lived to the good old age of 88 years. Three cheers for Great-great-grand- mother Abigail! Our great-grandfather, DANIEL BENNET, SR. (1783-1861) was the eldest of the five children born to Ishmael and Abigail Bennet, and was the father of our grandfather Daniel Bennett, Jr. A history of the Harlem Methodist Church, written by Mr. Kelly Adams, in 1954, states that "in 1809 Miss Sarah Adams, a beautiful young lady of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, married the Rever- end Daniel Bennet". She was twenty-one years old and he was four years older when they came to Ohio, accompanied by two of Sarah's brothers, Elijah and John Adams.

After coming to Ohio, he first bought 150 acres from Benajah Cook; later he added 200 more. Within three years they had cleared some land, built themselves log cabins, and, in co-operation with other pioneers, had built the first church (a log structure) in Harlem Town- ship, - in 1812, on land owned by Benajah Cook. Daniel Bennet, Sr. was also a preacher and preached the first sermon in this new church. When a young man, he had been licensed to preach in the Methodist Church and, shortly after coming to Ohio, he was ordained. Baskin's History of Delaware County* tells us that for over fifty years "he was a faithful worker in the church and during that time received no pay for his labor. For many years his house was a preaching point, and when building his last residence, he built one large room for that purpose." His home was located the the south-east corner of the in- tersection of Delaware County Roads #18 and #25, one mile directly west of Center Village. Daniel and Sarah Ben- net had eleven children. Baskin's History tells us that "they both lived to see all of their children married and all members of the church". Ishmael and Abigail Bennet and Daniel, Sr. and Sarah Bennet are all buried side by side in the cemetery at Harlem. Remarkably, their gravestones have not been discolored by age, but are still as clean and glistening white as when they were erected, perhaps over a century ago. DANIEL BENNETT, JR., our grandfather, with whom we are chiefly concerned, was the seventh of the eleven children of Daniel, Sr. and Sarah Bennet. Un- fortunately, we know very little about Daniel's early life. We do know that up to the time of his sudden and final illness, he had a "constitution of iron", that in adult life he had never been compelled to lie in bed a single day because of illness or accident, - _______________________ *Baskin, History of Delaware County, Ohio (1880) p. 839.

Description An account of the resource [page 8] [corresponds to page 6 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] although during his later years, he became quite hard of hearing. This strong constitution must have been devel- oped by years of hard toil. He was born when the country was largely a wilderness. He had helped to fell the for- ests, roll the logs, till the soil with rude implements drawn by oxen and reap the grain with the sickle. He probably followed the winding path by blazed trees through dense forests on horseback to Lancaster, the nearest place where grinding could be obtained. On his father's farm there was a brick kiln and we can imagine that Daniel, Jr. helped in making the brick. The old Harlem Church, built in 1838, was one of the buildings made with brick from this kiln.

Description An account of the resource [page 9] [corresponds to page 7 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] Daniel Bennett, Jr. married Margaret Mossman November 30, 1848. He was twenty-nine and she was six- teen years of age. Margaret Mossman Bennett was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, May 2, 1832, and at the age of four years, moved to Ohio in a wagon, with her parents, Robert and Anna Mossman. They settled near Granville, but soon afterward moved to Harlem Township, where Marga- ret spent the remainder of her life. For a time after their marriage, she and her husband lived with her par- ents. Daniel and Margaret Bennett had four children, all of whom lived to maturity, married and became heads of families. In order of birth they were: Harwell L. (1852-1917); Lillie May (1859-1930), the wife of M. L. Williams; Russell Bigelow (1862-1927); and Mertie Lee (1866-1960), the wife of Dr. McKendree Smith. Grandfather Bennett owned and operated a farm of 150 acres. About 1865, he built an eight-room brick house, using brick produced on his own farm. The house, still standing, is located at the south-east corner of the intersection of Delaware County Roads #17 and #25, one mile north of Harlem, one mile directly west of his birth- place, and two miles directly west of Center Village. During his lifetime, the intersection came to be known as "Bennett's Corners". The old "brick pond", from which the clay used in making the brick for the house was exca- vated, is well remembered as a summer recreation center where his young grandsons, Ernest, Ray and Floyd, used to paddle homemade rafts on its muddy water.

As early as 1874, we find in son Harwell's diary many entries such as these: March 26, 1874 Worked at the quarry. April 16, 1874 Began opening a new stone quarry at Harlem. April 27, 1874 Worked in the quarry for Pa. June 2, 1874 Worked in the stone quarry. June 13, 1874 Cutting stone. Sept. 10, 1874 Worked in the stone quarry. Oct. 2, 1874 Cut stone and delivered a load. We recall that one of Grandfather's major inter- ests was the developement of good roads, by converting the dirt roads of the township into hard stone pikes, so that farmers could haul their produce and persons could travel the year round, regardless of the weather condi- tions. During the last ten years of his life, he was re- sponsible for installing stone crushing equipment in the Duncan Run quarry to provide stone for paving many of the nearby roads. Probably the happiest events in the lives of Grandfather and Grandmother Bennett were those occasions when they were surrounded by their family- children and grandchildren. To their sons and daughters who deeply respected and loved their parents, Daniel and Margaret Bennett were always "Pa" and "Ma". To the grandchildren, they were "Grandpa" and "Grandma". And to their many friends and neighbors, in their later years, they were known affectionately as "Uncle Dan'l" and "Aunt Margaret". They felt fortunate because the families of all four chil- dren lived within convenient driving distance, even in the horse-and-buggy days, of the old home. The farthest away were Mertie Smith and family, who had moved to Colum- bus, while Russell and Harwell lived in nearby Westerville. They were always welcome to the old home at any time.

Description An account of the resource [page 13] [corresponds to page 11 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] All of the family and a host of friends gathered in the old home to celebrate with Daniel and Margaret Bennett their fifty years of happy, busy and very useful life to- gether. A remarkable fifty years it was: All of their sons and daughters, with their wives and husbands and chil- dren (except for two grandchildren, who had died in very early infancy) were living and were present - a remarkable record of fifty years of family ties unbroken by death. Love for his church, with a deep Christian faith, was a dominant element and a major interest dur- ing Grandfather's entire life. He was a member of the Methodist Church for over seventy-one years, more than fifty of which he was a class leader. Mr. Kelly Adams, in his History of the Harlem Methodist Church, tells us that Grandfather Bennett was a very generous contributor toward the cost of building the church in 1838. This church was always an object of his devotion, and weather was never too bad to keep him from attending, and partici- pating in its services. The old church building one- half mile north of Harlem, is still standing. Daniel Bennett had never known illness until, in the eighty-third year of his life, in December 1901, he suffered a stroke. During most of his remaining twelve weeks, he was able to walk and even to attend church, but was deprived almost entirely of his speech. He would sometimes try very hard to converse with friends, but, being unable to do so, would turn it aside with a smile. During such times as he was able to make his thoughts known in broken sentences, he had nothing to say about his farm, but his whole thought seemed to be about the church and about how he might do a little more good in the few days he had left to work. When anyone would sing to him one of his favorite hymns, his lips would seem to follow the words, although he could not utter the sounds.

Description An account of the resource [page 14] [corresponds to page 12 of Daniel Bennett, Jr.] Grandfather and Grandmother lived to complete over fifty-three years of life together. Grandfather's death occurred March 13, 1902 at age 83 years and five days. Grandmother died eight months later, November 15, 1902. In 1923, a most fitting memorial to his father was given to the Westerville Methodist Church by Russell Bennett. In that year, when the church sanctuary was re- modled, Russell presented a pipe organ to the church in memory of his father - a man who had always loved the old, familiar hymns of the church. The Dedication Service for the Bennett Memorial Organ was held on December 16, 1923. The organ was play- ed by Rowland P. Downing, then organist for the Broad Street Presbyterian Church of Columbus. Mr. Downing was a resident of Westerville and a native of Harlem Township, his boyhood home having been on a farm adjoining that of our Grandfather Bennett. When the new church was built in 1958-59, the old organ had served its purpose and was replaced by a new one given by the Johnston families. The wood cover- ing of the pipes of the old organ was used for paneling the walls of the ladies' lounge of the new church; thus a part of the old organ still carries on in the church now known as the Messiah United Methodist Church of West- erville, Ohio. We close this sesqui-centennial story by quoting excerpts from a letter written to Harwell Bennett on May 14, 1902, by Dr. J. C. Arbuckle, upon having heard of Grandfather Bennett's death. Rev.
