Notes for Enoch Bennett: The first child born to William M. Bennett by his second wife, Rebecca Pittman, was Enoch. His birth is recorded in the old family Bible as June 31, 1817. He supposedly returned to Kentucky after the family came to Indiana sometime during the 1820's or 1830's. A search of the Kentucky records at Bardstown reveals that an Enoch Bennett married Amy Tewell Sept. 2, 1877. It is possible that this is Enoch who was the second son of William M. Bennett, although not certainly, for another Enoch Bennett is known to have lived in Kentucky at about the same time. Daniel Bennett also has a son, Enoch, but he lived at an earlier period, having married Elizabeth Muster in July 1813 - before William M's son was born. |

Notes for James Bennett: James Bennett is buried along side his father, William M. Bennett, in Provident Baptist Cemetery, Orange Co., Indiana. He lived all his life in southern Orange County, Indiana, where he raised a family of 6 children, and in addition raised his niece, Rebecca (Beckie) Bennett, who was left orphaned by the death of her father, Sanford, in 1863, and her mother, Catherine Yates Bennett. Beckie was about the age of James' own daughter, and many people thought them to be twins. During a family argument in the John Brown family, a shot was fired into the home of James Bennett by an unidentified person, who apparently meant to kill him. The shot, however, hit his wife, Sarah (Sally) in the abdomen instead and caused the loss of their unborn child. |

Notes for George Washington Bennett: GEORGE BENNETT was born in Harrison County, Ind., May 17, 1827. In a family of eleven he is the sixth. His parents were William and Rebecca (Pittman) Bennett, who were natives of Kentucky, where they were married. From that State they came to Indiana, locating first in Harrison County, whence they came to Orange County some time prior to 1833. Here they spent the balance of their lives and at their deaths were buried in Providence Cemetery. George Bennett received in his boyhood an ordinary education such as the early schools afforded. He was raised to a farmer's life by his parents, with whom he remained until twenty-two years old. At that age he was married, July 10, 1849, to Miss Nancy Grimes, who has borne him a family of nine children, named James, Dice E., Samuel, Rebecca, Alonzo T., George W., John L., Abraham F. and Isaac L. Farming is the almost exclusive occupation of Mr. Bennett and he owns a farm of 160 acres well improved and cultivated. As members of the Baptist Church he and wife have been prominent for more than twenty years in their community (Greenfield Township). He belongs to the fraternity of Odd Fellows and is a staunch Democrat in politics. |

Notes for Sanford Bennett: When their children were all very young, Catherine died, and Sanford went into the Civil War. He returned from the war in 1863 with a severe case of the measles, from which he soon died. The children were taken into homes of relatives and friends to be raised. Melissa was taken into the home of Carr Apple, a friend of the family, where she grew to womanhood - and married Carr's son, Lon Apple. Beckie was raised by her uncle James Bennett. |
