SAMUEL WILSON BENNETT, son of Amos and Judith (Loyd) Bennett, was born
in Ohio County, Ky., Oct. 16, 1841.  His grandfather, John Bennett, was
a native of Maryland, and was one of the earliest settlers of Ohio
County.  In 1857 McLean County was taken off from Ohio, which
transferred the Bennetts to Mc Lean County.  Mr. Bennett's father died
May 19, 1880, aged seventy-three years.  His mother is still living on
the old homestead, near Livermore, McLean County.  There was a family of
fourteen children, only seven now living.  All are married and have
families but one.  Mr. Bennett's father was a strong, healthy man, and
had seen many of the hardships peculiar to life in a new country.  His
average weight was 250 pounds.  S. W. Russell was reared on the farm in
Ohio County, Oct. 14, 1861; he enlisted in Company A, Twenty-sixth
Kentucky Infantry, U. S. A., and served under Generals Buell, Rosecrans,
Thomas and Scofield.  He was mustered out July 28, 1865, and returned to
his father's farm.  Jan. 8, 1867, he married Mrs. Elizabeth (Wilhite)
Patterson and settled on his farm in Daviess County, which he had
previously purchased.  Mrs. Bennett is a native of Ohio County and a
daughter of Thos. R. Wilhite.  They have had nine children--Georgie,
Nancy Judith (deceased), Ella E., Lovick R., Robert M., Elmer K., Edmund
L., Frederick D. and Mary E.  Mrs. Bennett also has a daughter by her
former marriage--Alice T. Patterson.  Mr. Bennett is a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church.  He has a fine farm of 133 acres well
improved.
