Some Descendants of
of Joel & Sarah Bird Bennett of Sullivan County, Pennsylvania
Compiled by
Charles Kehler between 1993 and 1998 with the help of many cousins.
As happens in so many families, I
neglected to ask enough questions when my grandparents and their contemporaries
were still alive. Consequently this book, which might have been compiled then
in a year, has taken considerably longer. But tracking down a plethora of
cousins, most of whom I had never heard of before, and then persuading them to
provide all their family information to someone they had never heard of before
turned out to be a tremendous lot of fun. The cooperation and interest far
exceeded my expectations. This family contains some delightful people and it
has been my privilege to get to know them via phone or mail.
I am indebted first of all to Eugene
Bennett who got me started in this search and who also put me in touch with
Ginny Sweeny who supplied most of the information on David's descendants and
with Jay Glidewell who is working on Edmond's family; Marian Havlen and her
sister, Kathryn Struzinsky, who provided much of Boyd's family; Betty Newman
who forwarded my letter to her aunt Anita Taylor Dieter in Kelso, WA who was
most helpful and supplied some names which enabled me to eventually locate
Arthur's grandchildren. I am especially grateful to the late Sally Schneider
who, thanks to her mother and grandmother's trunks, discovered she had some
duplicate old photographs, including the one of the 1909 family reunion. Pauline
Houseknecht then also sent me her copy of that same picture in which she and
Dolly Best, now both in their nineties, are the only survivors today. Many
thanks to Harriet Hornbeck who rounded up Libby Miller's family for me and to
Ruth Hockman who did the same for Herbert's family and also spent some hours
digging in the Lycoming County Courthouse and the Williamsport Library. Thanks
to all the cousins who so kindly returned the requested information.
Of the many cousins I have found who
are interested and also searching for family history, descendants of both Joel
and his brother Thomas, none of us to date have been able to discover their
parents in New Jersey. We will keep on looking.
If you find any errors or omissions
in this book, which you can correct, please let me know.

JOEL BENNETT
George Streby in his "History
of Sullivan County, PA" says: "Among the early settlers of Shrewsbury
Township were Joel and Thomas Bennett. Joel Bennett came from New Jersey in
1809 when he was 21 years of age, locating first near Forksville, where he
remained some six or eight years, during that time he purchased land in Elkland
Township. He married Sarah Bird, a daughter of Powell and Lydia (Hannant) Bird;
they located on their farm in Elkland in 1817, where they remained three years,
then sold their farm to Joseph Pardoe and moved to Lewis Lake, where Mr. Bennett
worked for Mr. Lewis several years, then purchased land of Lewis, near the Edkin
farm, and cleared up a farm. He died in 1867. To Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were born
ten children, only three remaining in Sullivan County, George W. Bennett,
William Bennett, and Caroline who married Mr. Sheets.
"Thomas Bennett came from New
Jersey in 1809 with his brother Joel. After remaining at the lake a short time
he returned to New Jersey, where he remained several years and married there.
He then returned to Lewis Lake, now Eagles Mere, and worked for George Lewis;
later he moved to the outlet of Hunter's Lake, where he conducted a gristmill
for Mr. Lewis. He purchased land from Mr. Lewis and cleared up a farm. He died
in 1870, aged eighty-eight years, ten months and four days."
Editor's Note: The previous two paragraphs actually appear, with some slight modifications, in Thomas Ingham's History of Sullivan County [1899], not in the Streby history.
Streby made some errors. Joel's
tombstone and the 1850 & 1860 census all indicate his birth year was 1780,
therefore he would have been 21 in 1801. His name appears on the roster of
registered voters in 1808 so must have arrived earlier that year or late 1807
rather than 1809. On 2 June 1807 Peter Knott and his wife Lydia Hendrickson of
Shrewsbury Twp., Monmouth County, New Jersey transferred to Joel Bennett of
Shrewsbury Twp., Monmouth County, New Jersey a parcel of 50 plus acres of land
from a tract of 1051 acres, which Knott had purchased from Joseph Priestley,
which was located on Muncy Creek for "love and affection". This term
in a deed usually denoted a close family relationship but none has been found.
Knott had purchased his Pennsylvania timberland in 1804 along with his
brother-in-law John G. Holmes who bought 600 acres and his uncle Theophilus
Little who initially bought 4,500 acres. George Lewis of New York had bought
10,000 acres, which included Lewis Lake (later became Eagles Mere) where he
started a glass factory. Little and Lewis had started their negotiations as early
as 1799 so it is entirely possible that Joel and Thomas Bennett could have
accompanied Knott, Holmes and/or Little on one or more inspection trips prior
to the date of purchase (perhaps in 1801 when Joel was 21). Thomas also was
married in New Jersey to Phebe Woolsey (or Woolley) prior to 1809. Their son
"Joel Jr." was born there in 1804, son Joseph being born in
Pennsylvania in March 1809.** We have been unable, to date, to identify the
parents or any siblings of Joel and Thomas in New Jersey.
** Through the generosity of Sue Shaner, we have, however, been able to learn more about one set of descendants of Thomas Bennett, through his son George L. Bennett and granddaughter Anna Elizabeth Bennett, who married Murry Vroman. You can learn more about this family at The Bennett and Vroman Lineage.
Joel did not occupy his 50-acre
tract, later selling it to his brother, but went on to the Forksville area
where he met and married Sarah Bird in 1810. What he did or for whom he worked
during this period is not known. They purchased their Elkland Twp. farm in 1811
and in 1820 sold it to Joseph Pardoe and moved to Lewis Lake where he worked
for George Lewis. In 1824 he purchased 70 acres south of Hunter's Lake from
Lewis and cleared up a farm on what is now known as the Edkin Hill Road. In
1839 he purchased an additional 81 acres of adjoining land. Here his family
grew to maturity and dispersed. Streby said that George W. , William and
Caroline stayed in Sullivan County. Actually William migrated to the Washington
Territory in 1879.
In 1855 Joel sold the 70-acre tract
to David Hall and moved down to the Davidson Twp. side of Muncy Valley next to
his son Edmond from whom he leased a lot and presumably built a small house. In
1863 he transferred the 81-acre parcel to son George W. George W.. repurchased
the 70-acre parcel from Hall's widow in 1867. Joel died in 1867 and is buried
at Eagles Mere. He died intestate and Sarah declined administration asking the
court to issue letters of administration to son William. Edmond served as one
of his sureties. Edmond, with his family, left the area around 1869 migrating
to Iowa. By the 1870 census Sarah was found living with William and Caroline
Sheets. She died in 1874, probably at Caroline's home, and is probably also
buried at Eagles Mere although there is no stone to mark her grave.
Joel and Thomas may have had two
more brothers (or possibly cousins): Nimrod Bennett who married Ruth Bird,
sister of Sarah; and Chevalier Bennett who was the father of Mary Ann Bennett
who married Thomas Little. Chevalier and Joel are buried on adjacent lots in
the Eagles Mere Cemetery but no documentation has ever been found to confirm a
relationship.
Thomas Ingham's "History of
Sullivan County" included the following story in the section on Shrewsbury
Township: "Like most settlers at that day, Joel Bennett was an occasional
hunter, and incidents of his early hunting in this county are still related. On
one occasion he and his brother Thomas were out together; one went up one side
of Hunter's Lake, and the other on the opposite side. Joel soon saw a large
animal on a log, and, having a ball and twenty buckshot in his musket, fired
away. The animal rolled off; up started another of the same kind, which made a
few jumps, and then stopped and looked him in the face. He hastened to load and
at the same time he called his brother. The shouting startled the beast away,
and when Thomas came it was gone. The dead animal proved to be a large
panther."
JOEL BENNETT, born 10 Jun 1780 in
New Jersey, moved from Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey to the
Forksville area of Lycoming County, PA in 1807 or 1808; married SARAH BIRD,
daughter of Powell & Lydia Hannant Bird, 1 Mar 1810 . She vas born ca 1788
in .Worstead, Norfolk, England and came to Millview with her parents in 1795 .
Joel died 2 Feb 1867, Davidson Twp., Sullivan County, PA. Sarah died 16
November 1874 Sullivan County, PA, probably at the home of her daughter,
Caroline Sheets, with whom she vas residing at the 1870 census. They are both
believed to be buried in the Eagles Mere Cemetery although there is no stone to
mark Sarah's grave. They had ten children who are listed below . Birth order is
not known so the listing shown is arbitrary. Each child is identified by a
letter, which will identify that child's section in the following book.

William Bennett
Senior member of the firm of Bennett & Sons, leading lumber merchants and
manufacturers of Baker county.
Mr. Bennett is the son of Joel and Sarah (Bird) Bennett, natives of New York
and England respectively, and he was born at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, in
1829. He passed his minority in his native place, staying with his parents and
receiving a good education in the public schools and Dickson Seminary. In 1860
he started to Pike's Peak, being led thither by the gold excitement at that
time. For four years he mined in that vicinity and then went to Montana, on
Alder creek, and engaged in freighting to Fort Benton until 1870, when he
returned to Pennsylvania and started a sawmill in Sullivan county. For a
number of years he followed this occupation and then removed his plant to
Klickitat county, Washington, and later to White Salmon. At this last point he
added a planing mill, and two years later, in 1886, he removed the whole plant
to Baker City, establishing the planing mill in the city and locating his
sawmill nine miles out. He has since added another mill thirteen miles south
of Baker City, and the combined capacity of his plants is one million feet of
lumber for one year. He has always found time to take up the questions of
political import and local significance, as well as matters of educational
interest, ever manifesting his characteristic wisdom and keen foresight.
Several times he has been before the conventions, but his preference is not
for political preferment of any kind, and hence he has retired in favor of
others.
Mr. Bennett and Miss Elizabeth Berry were married in Pennsylvania in 1856, but
on February 14, 1868, Mrs. Bennett was called to pass the river of death, and
her remains are buried in the cemetery at Hughesville, Pennsylvania. To this
union were born the following children: Milliard F.; Bion, died September,
1898; Thomas E.; Eugene; Elizabeth.
Mr. Bennett contracted a second marriage in 1871, the lady of his choice being
Miss Mary J. Watters, a native of Pennsylvania. To them have been born the
following children: Cora, Callie; Stella; Mary and Martha, twins; infant,
deceased; infant, deceased; and Malcolm.
Mr. Bennett not only deals in lumber and all kinds of planng mill products but
also handles implements and is sole agent for the well-known Fish Brothers'
wagon.

The above information was obtained
from Streby's History of Sullivan County, Virginia Bennett Sweeny, Carol Bird
Tomkins, Jay Glidewell, census records and gravestones.
The information in this book on
Edmond's family came primarily from Jay Glidewell and "The Glidewells of
Sullivan County" by Jay Taylor.
The excerpt on the Sheets family
came from "The Genealogy of the Theophilus Little Family" and census.
I am indebted to Virginia Bennett
Sweeny for most of the data on both David's and William's families.

The following article appeared in
the Chehalis, WA newspaper on Nov. 12, 1909. The clipping had been saved by
Arthur Bennett's son Jennings and a copy was forwarded to me by Jenning's
daughter, Ella Mae Carstens.
A FAMILY REUNION
While Arthur Bennett was
visiting recently in Pennsylvania, a paper there printed the following:
"A family reunion was held at
the home of Alvin Miller, Muncy Valley, yesterday in honor of the return of
Arthur Bennett of Chehalis, Wash. who is visiting his home after twenty-two
years absence. His mother, Mrs. Sarah Bennett, who is over eighty-five years of
age and one of the oldest residents of Sullivan County, helped prepare the
dinner. Those present were: Mrs. Martha Simmons; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller
and daughters Beulah and Ruth; Mrs. Sarah Boone and daughter Florence; Bernice
Burkholder of Williamsport; Mr. and Mrs. S. Burkholder; Mr. and Mrs. Brady
Bennett and daughters, Helen and Pauline of Eagles Mere; Mr. and Mrs. George
Laurenson and children, Elmer, Elizabeth, and Martha of Strawbridge; Mrs.
Sarah Bennett; Boyd Bennett, wife and sons, Bert, Harry, Ralph and Leslie;
Clayton Bennett, wife and sons, Sidney and George; Herbert Bennett, wife and
children, Dolly, Dorothy, Elizabeth and Roland; Alvin Miller, wife and
children, Bert, Edna, Myrtle and Edith; Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Bennett and son,
Charles; and Clyde Sheets of Muncy Valley. Four generations were represented
Mrs. Sarah Bennett, Mrs. Martha Simmons, Mrs. S. L. Boone and daughter, Miss
Florence Boone."
This is the reunion at which the
family picture was taken, copies of which were given to me by Sally Schneider,
a great-granddaughter of Martha Simmons and by Pauline Bennett Houseknecht,
daughter of Brady Bennett (above). Pauline is presently living in Sebring,
Florida and Dolly Bennett Best, daughter of Herbert, is living in Williamsport,
PA. Clayton and Laura Bennett and sons and Clyde Sheets apparently arrived
after the picture was taken. With the help of many cousins, all present in the
picture have now been identified.

George W. Bennett was a prominent
farmer of Shrewsbury Twp. He was a Justice of the Peace and held numerous other
township offices. His farm was located on what is now known as the Edkin Hill
Road in what was then known as the Bunker Hill area. The children all attended
the Bunker Hill school. In 1863 Joel transferred 81 acres of his farm to George
and then in 1867 George repurchased the 70-acre parcel which Joel had sold to
David Hall in 1855 from Hall's widow. In 1886 George and Sarah donated a piece
of land just down the road to the Methodists for a new church. It was then
named the Mount Vernon Methodist Church, apparently in honor of "George
Washington" Bennett. The old cemetery farther down the road is sometimes
called the Mount Vernon or sometimes the Edkin Hill Cemetery. The church
building was converted to a residence many years ago. George died in 1892 and
Sarah continued to live at the farm, the property was transferred to Alvin
& Libby Miller in 1909, Sarah later went to live with son Boyd in Muncy
Creek Township, Lycoming County where she died in 1916.

In Memoriam
by Pj Little
March 8, 2005
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Charles Kehler of Ithaca, New York. He was a contributor to many Sullivan County family trees and he had very strong roots in Lycoming and surrounding counties, going back to before the first federal census. Cousin Charles was one of the few living individuals who could actually explain how the various large and powerful families in the county related.
He is greatly missed by family and friends. Charles was a stickler for details. His mother was Kathrine Chilson, whose parents were LeRoy Chilson and Lottie E. Bennett. He had three siblings viz Lucille Kehler Burke, Helene Kehler Grant and Phillip Kehler.
.
His wife of many years died in 2004 after struggling with poor health for an extended period of time. Charles fell last winter and according to him "broke" his leg. He continued to live at home until the end.
Charles loved his family, but when it came to genealogy research he had the nose of a blood hound and the soul of a certified genealogist. He did much to promote truth in research and was a long time contributor to the Sullivan County website at Rootsweb. Charles was one of the kindest, most gentle souls I ever knew. He added something to his work I call integrity and honesty that is so sadly lacking today. Charles was more than my Little "shirt-tail cousin", he was my friend.

Herbert was born September 16,1870
in Eagles Mere, Pa. He was the youngest of six sons born to George Washington
and Sarah Laird (Smith) Bennett. His brothers were: Clarence Howard, Boyd,
Nelson and James Monroe, Arthur. Herbert had five sisters: Martha, Ruth, Ida,
Harriet Elizabeth and Bernice.
At age 26, Herbert married Martha
Fiester of Strawbridge, Pa. They were married June 17, 1896. Sadly, Martha died
during childbirth in 1898 at just 21 yrs of age. After the death of his wife
and infant, Herbert moved back to his Mother's home.
He later married Eva Jarrett. After
Eva's father, Daniel Jarrett, died, her mother later remarried. Eva lived a
number of years with her Mother and Stepfather. She eventually left their home
and went to board at the home of Herbert's sister, Mrs. Laurenson. It as there
that Herbert and Eva became acquainted. They married in 1901.
Eventually four daughters were born
to them. Dolly, Dorothy, Elizabeth and Ruth. One son was born before the
youngest daughter (Martha Ruth). The one son died very young. Herbert grieved,
very much, the death of his only son and wondered to his family if perhaps he
lost him because he loved him too much.
For most of his years in Sullivan
Co., he worked at the Tannery in Laporte. For relaxation, and at times out of
necessity, he would borrow a horse and buggy to get around more. The girls
loved the rides but once on an outing, another driver passed them on the road,
spooking their horse, causing it to run out of control for a short period of
time. It frightened the girls just as much. Rides were taken to the train depot
to await the arrival of mail. This was usually on a Sat. or Sunday.
After the Tannery, which was a big
source of work in Laport, closed, Herbert was persuaded by his sister,
Bernice, to move his family to Williamsport. There he was able to get work with
the Mosser Tannery on Arch Street in the Newberry section of Williamsport. At
the same time the Baptist Church, which was located just a few blocks from the
Tannery, was seeking a Sexton. Herbert applied for and got the job of
caretaking the church. In exchange for his services, he was granted the use of
the house, located next to the church, rent free. The year was 1915 and this
would be home to his family for many years. Herbert, Eva, and the daughters
would become faithful members of the church and active in various groups.
In the summer Herbert and Eva loved,
in later years, to visit the area in which he grew up.
Herbert died in October of 1935 at
the age of 65 yrs.. He as a very kindly man, very friendly and loved of
neighbors and family. He was buried in the East Wildwood Cemetery,
Williamsport.

Oldest
Resident of the Town of Erin
(97 years on
June 26, 1976)
According to the family bible record
and official town records, Albert Erwin Bennett was born on June 26,1879 near
Muncy Valley, in Shrewsbury township, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania. He was the
third child in a family of seven boys and two girls born to Annie Mariah Peale
and Boyd Patterson Bennett. His mother's parents were of pure English stock.
His father's parents were also British but were a mixture of English, Irish and
Scotch.
Albert recalls that although he was
very young he helped his father with chores in the barns and fields at the
family's 150 acre farm near Muncy Valley. He also assisted his mother around
the house for there was always water to be carried and the wood box to be
filled also fruit to be gathered in the summer and fall for jams, jellies and
preserves for winter use. As he grew older, he worked long hours in the fields
using a team of horses for plowing, planting, cultivating, and harvesting the
crops.
The Bunker Hill school which he
attended, was a one-room building complete with water pail, dipper and two
small out buildings at the rear. It was heated by coal brought from near by
mines. The school day lasted for 9:00 a.m. to 4: p.m. with one hour for lunch.
Albert usually walked the two miles from home to school but remembers that
often in winter his father would take him on horseback to school as he was just
too short to cope with the snow drifts; also the horse broke a track in the
snow making it easier for those children who walked.
Albert recalls going grocery
shipping with his father. They drove a horse and buggy to town to purchase
supplies to last about a month but for a longer time during late fall, winter
and early spring when traveling was often hazardous. Most items purchased were
weighed from shipping barrels. Crackers could be bought for $.02 per lb., sugar
$.04 per lb., coffee $.15 lb. and flour which came in 50 lb. cloth sacks was
priced at $1.20.
When Albert was about 14 years old,
he helped his father and his mother's brother, Uncle Fred, work at their saw
mill in the winter. His job was to take the lumber from the saw, pile it on a
hand truck, and push it on a track to the unloading area. For his efforts he
received $1.00 for a 10 hour work day. He continued to work on the farm and at
the saw mill until he was about 19 years old. At that time he left home and
obtained employment with Sprout and Waldron, builders of flour mills and grist
mills at Muncy, Penna. Subsequently he was sent to Painesville, Ohio to work as
an apprentice mill-wright. During the training period he was paid with meals
and lodging only. The company then sent him with the crew installing and
repairing mills and equipment at various sites throughout the state of
Pennsylvania. While on a job at Lebanon he contracted typhoid fever. He was
sent home by train and met at the depot by a member of the family with a horse
and buggy. He barely reached his family's farm before he became unconscious. A
trained nurse was hired to care for him. He remained unconscious for 5 weeks.
On the sixth week the fever broke and he slowly but steadily recovered. Then he
returned to work for his father and Uncle in the logging and saw mill business.
At the age of 21 Albert cast his
first vote for President William McKinley when running for a second term in
1900. He recalls the assassination of the President at the Buffalo, N.Y.
exposition in 1901. It so happened that Albert arrived which happened while
Albert was enroute and he didn't know about it until he saw the spot where the
slain President had fallen and saw the blood stains. The area had been roped
off.
In the spring of 1909 a friend hired
Albert to be Captain of the steam boat operating on Eagles Mere Lake at Eagles
Mere, Pa. taking passengers on lake cruises at that famous Pennsylvania summer
resort. While there he met his future bride, Inez Guild from East Troy, Penna.
Inez worked at the same Inn where Albert was boarding. They were married on
Feb. 23, 1911.
Albert and his wife set up
housekeeping at Montoursville, Penna. where he found employment at a table and
chair factory. Here he earned $1.50 for a days work. In the fall of 1912 Albert
moved his wife and new daughter to Williamsport, Pa. Employment was then found with
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. He worked with the carpenter crew repairing
bridges, buildings etc. For this he was paid $1.50 per day, often working 10 to
12 hours. He was also furnished meals while out on the job. This job often took
him so far away that he had only week-ends to spend with his family. He was
sent to Johnstown to build new bridges after the famous flood that caused many
washouts. At that time he was away from home over two weeks.
About 1914 Albert hired out as an
apprentice carpenter to a building contractor. This job paid $1.75 per day.
After working on several building projects, he moved his family to his parents
farm at Muncy, Pa. This was done at the request of his mother after the death
of his father. Here be began farming on a relatively large scale raising beef
cattle, hogs, corn and wheat to sell. All work was done by horse drawn
machinery. Three pair of horses were often used as two of his younger brothers
had joined him in operating the farm. The corn was cut, shocked and husked by
hand.
After the death of his mother three
younger brothers took over the operation of the farm. Once again Albert moved
his wife and their two daughters, Marian and Kathryn. They came to Erin, N.Y.
in March 1919 where they bought the property known locally as the old McMillen
farm located on state road, route 223 about 1 mile west of the hamlet of Erin.
At that time the old homestead was still standing but was not in livable
condition. The family's household effects were shipped by freight to Breesport and
were taken to their home by teams and bobsleds driven by neighbors Clay Cornell
and Joseph Blackwell. The snow was very deep and of course the roads were not
plowed out in those days, so it was quite a battle for the horses to get
through the deep snow and drifts pulling a heavy load. Paths were made to the
out buildings. It seemed like walking through tunnels as the snow was piled
shoulder high. Albert recalls how the snow melted and the ground settled so
that he and his wife were able to plant garden much earlier then than in recent
years.
Albert worked the farm and raised
poultry for several years and was also employed at the Eclipse Machine Co.,
Elmira Heights as an inspector. After about a year he took a job with the State
Highway dept.
In later years he and his son, Lynn
continued the poultry business on an expanded basis until Albert retired. He
now resides on the same farm with his son. A younger brother now 86 years, has
made his home with the family since 1922. Albert's wife, Inez, passed away Jan.
1 1976
Although Mr. Bennett shattered his
hip about six years ago requiring a plate and a pin, he still gets around with
the aid of a walker. He spends his days resting, watching t.v. and doing a
little reading.

(See accompanying Navy Dep't articles)
After Jack was injured he was flown
from Freetown, So. Africa to New York by special flight approved by the
government, and remained in hospital there until able to travel home. He
arrived in Chahalis, WA on crutches and was checked into the Naval Hospital at
Bremerton, WA in the spring of 1943. After a short period of time Eleanor
Roosevelt flew to the Bremerton Naval Hospital to present him with the Silver
Star. He returned to active duty as driver for Cap't Kerick, Commander of the
Eastern Sea Frontier in Seattle for his full term of duty, six, years, and was
discharged from the navy At Bremerton, WA, Aug 25, 1945.

Jennings Jack
Bennett
EXTENSION OF
REMARKS
of
HON. FRED
NORMAN
of Washington
IN THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday,
October 21, 1943
Mr. NORMAN. Mr. Speaker, I have
today introduced a bill, H.R. 3505, which would authorize the President to
present a Congressional Medal of Honor to young Jennings Jack Bennett, a heroic
sailor resident in in my district, near Chehalis. For the information of my
colleagues, and because it is a story that certainly bears repeating and also
because it is a sage of sea heroism fit to rank with the finest similar feats
in our history, I would like to recount briefly here the deeds of this young
man. I feel sure that, when you have read of them, you will agree that Jennings
Jack Bennett deserves the highest honor which his country can bestow.
On July 16, 1942, the tanker HUMPHRIES
was steaming through the South Atlantic when it was attacked by a German
raider. Young Bennett, a coxswain in the armed guard, was in charge of a gun crew
on his tanker. He had just come off watch, and was sitting in his bunk removing
his shoes when the first enemy shell struck his ship. He rushed on deck to find
that his gun crew had already pumped one answering shell into the raider's bow.
Bennett took charge, and in the space of seconds, the gun crew had fired two
more shells into the raider. Before they could fire again, the raider's heavier
guns were pounding the tanker. One of these shells struck near Bennett, and
pieces of the exploding metal hit the sailor in the right heel, right leg, left
leg, and left elbow, and tore off the third finger of his left hand. The same
shell killed one of Bennett's crew members, and put his gun out of commission.
Despite his wounds, hardly even aware of them, in fact, Bennett obtained life
jackets for the remaining members of his gun crew and helped them to the rail
and overboard. Then he went back and obtained about a dozen more life jackets
and threw them over the rail to fellow sea men struggling in the waters far
below.
You would think that this young man
already had done enough in the line of duty. But Bennett did not think so. He
recollected that there were certain confidential papers in his cabin which
should be destroyed. So he made his way below and obtained the papers and also
had presence of mind enough to place them in a weighted bag. Just as he left
his quarters, another enemy shell struck the ship's bridge and Bennett barely
escaped being trapped as the ceiling of his quarters caved in. Reaching the deck
again, he fought his way to the rail, leaving his blood upon the deck from his
multiple wounds, and tossed the bag and its precious burden into the sea.
Again, one might figure that Bennett
had done more than his part already. But he did not. He noticed a member of the
ship's crew and another from the armed guard attempting to lower the port
lifeboat aft, and he went to help them. As he worked with them, another enemy
shell struck nearby. It killed the armed guard member beside Bennett, and
mortally wounded the merchant seaman also. One large piece of exploding metal
went through Bonnet's already injured left arm. When he attempted to rise from
where the explosion had flung him, Bennett found that the hot metal had pinned
his arm to the deck. As he tried to jerk the arm loose from the deck plate,
another shell hit nearby and jarred his flesh clear. He arose, staggered to the
stern, and rolled off into the water. Wounded as he was, he managed to swim
toward a raft. The enemy torpedoes tore through the water within inches of him,
but he made the raft, and just before losing consciousness, he remembers being
transferred to a lifeboat.
He was "out" for 9 hours.
The boat floated for 7 days, and then the survivors were picked up by a
Norwegian merchantman. Three days later they were put ashore in South Africa.
Bennett since then has been returned
to the United States, and has undergone long treatment for his many injuries.
For his gallant conduct in that deadly fray in the South Atlantic he already
has won the Purple Heart and the Silver Star. He also holds a Good Conduct
Medal.
A naval Lieutenant commander who
interviewed the survivors of this action in a hospital at Freetown, South
Africa, has recommended Bennett for the Congressional Medal of Honor.
A writer for Our Navy interviewed
young Bennett when he was returned to America, and, after detailing the nine
wounds he suffered, this writer quotes the intrepid sailor as follows: "I
want to go back into the armed guard service. I've got plenty left for a few good
cracks at them yet. Just get me on a ship again."
Bennett's one present fear is that
the wounds to his left leg will leave him unfit for active service.
I believe that the heroism, above
and beyond the call of duty, which this fine young American showed in that
terrible battle in the South Atlantic in July 1942 and the indomitable spirit
which he then showed and still possess is deserving of our highest reward. That
is why I have introduced this Medal of Honor bill.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bennett:
I noted recently in the Centralia
Daily Chronicle that your son, Jennings J. Bennett, had been awarded the Navy's
Silver Star Medal for conspicuous gallantry and bravery in action.
I would like to add my
congratulations to the many which I know you have received from those
impressed, like myself, with Jennings' heroic conduct under most trying
circumstances. His is the type of bravery and courage and plain old
American-itis which will enable us to eventually win this war and help carve
out a much better world in the years to follow.
It is deeply regretted by me, as I
know it is by you and Jennings' friends, that he was wounded. I pray with you
that he survives whole and hearty and some day soon returns to you and to the
plaudits of his people, which he so richly deserves.
Sincerely Yours,
FRED NORMAN, M.C.

Be it enacted by the Senate and

such vessel was attacked and sunk by an enemy raider.
OFFICE OF THE
U.S. NAVAL OBSERVER
FREETOWN,
SIERRA LEONE
November 5, 1943
Honorable Fred Norman, MC
House Office Building
Washington, D.C.
My dead Congressman Norman,
Your letter of October 11, 1943
inquiring regarding Jennings Jack Bennett reached my office yesterday. I am
pleased to supply you with some information what I hope will be of some value
in your desire to bestow some form of honor on Bennett for his outstanding
performance as a Coxswain in charge of the gun crew of the S.S. WILLIAM
HUMPHREY. I am somewhat surprised you have not been able to locate my report on
Bennett as it was sent to the Navy Department under date of November 23, 1942,
and it was alluded to by verbatim quotation therefrom contained in a Navy
Department press release giving the facts with regard to this lad's
performance.
The report in question bore the
letter serial P15, L-36 and was addressed to the Director of Naval
Intelligence, Navy Department.
In the course of this report, I
stated to the Department, "that his conduct and devotion to duty during
the attack on the ship in the opinion of your observer deserved the highest
praise and should be officially recognized in some appropriate manner". As
a closing paragraph to the report, I stated "such courage and fortitude as
this lad has displayed should not be unrewarded. I sincerely hope the
Department will give him some merited recognition."
In matters of this kind, while I
have had no specific instructions from the Navy Department as to the procedure
to take, it seemed to me to be the better part of good reason to state the
facts of the case, as ascertainable, and let the Department make a
determination as to the type of reward that should be bestowed in consideration
of general policy factors that must govern all matters pertaining to awards.
For this reason, I did not specifically recommend any particular type of medal
or citation, but rather expressed in forceful language my opinion that merited
recognition should be given.
My personal feeling is that young
Bennett performed a very exceptional action above and beyond the call of duty
and by this fine example he set in the early days of the war did much to point
a way and a spirit for the American sailor to emulate. I took a real personal
interest in Bennett during the many months that he was here in the hospital,
and I must say that is was inspiring to me personally to see the winning fight
that he put up in the face of over-whelming odds against him and you may be
sure that it was a happy day when I was able to send him to the airport en
route to his loved ones. Mrs. McFall called on Bennett when he was in the
hospital in Brooklyn and spent a most enjoyable two hours with him, which
happened to be his birthday.
If there is anything further at all
that I can do in this end of the line to supply you with any further
information, you have merely to inform me, and if obtainable, it will be
supplied post haste.
Very respectfully,
JACK K. MC FALL

Grant enlisted in the U.S. Navy in
1939.
In January of 1942 he was assigned
to the oil tanker USS Neches, which 6 months later went down in a hot blaze of
fire, being sunk by the Japanese in the Pacific. Survivors were brought into
the hospital at San Francisco and six months later he was assigned to the USS
Sperry, a subtender, out of Valejo, California. Grant served 6 months on the
Sperry and upon the completion of the new oil tanker, Mascoma, in Portland,
Oregon, was transferred to it, where he served until the end of the war in
1945. The USS Mascoma returned to its home port in Portland, Oregon and he was
transferred to a light cruiser, and then to a train which carried him to
Seattle and he received his final discharge after 6 1/2 years from the U.S. Navy
in Bremerton, Washington.
Joseph M. Higgins, Jr. served in the
U. S. Navy in WWII from June 1943 to December 1945. He was a Anti-Aircraft
Gunner on the light cruiser U.S.S. Miami CL89. As such he saw action in the
Mariana Islands, Palau Islands, Philippines, Leyte Gulf and Philippine Sea
battles, also at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. The crew of the Miami were awarded the
Philippine Liberation medal with two stars. They were subject to many air
strikes and shore bombardments and also sunk a Japanese cruiser in the
Philippine Sea battle.
(information from Joseph Higgins)
In the summer of 1950 I had the
privilege of visiting Aunt Ida Burkholder (daughter of George W. & Sarah
Smith Bennett, #7) who was then ninety years old. Her mind was sharp, her back
was straight and her eyes had a twinkle. At that time she had to spend the
winters with her daughter in Williamsport but as soon as the weather warmed up
she returned, alone, to her home in Eagles Mere, where she took in tourists
"to keep busy".
She told of the cyclone of June 27,
1892. She saw the dark clouds of the approaching storm and went out on her
front porch to take her plants from the railing and place them down on the
floor to protect them from the wind. She turned to go back in the house and
woke up some time later, still holding on to the door knob, lying on top of the
door which was on top of a pile of splintered wood, which had been their home,
at the edge of the woods back of their lot. The house was totally demolished,
she had a few minor scratches and bruises. She said since she had survived that
she had never been afraid of anything since.
She was a truly remarkable lady, one
who had gotten herself elected or appointed to the Eagles Mere School Board
long before women had the right to vote in general elections.
When Horace McFarland was writing
his history of Eagles Mere, he interviewed Ida Burkholder who related that her
grandfather, William Smith, had been secretary and overseer for George Lewis
(founder of the town and the glass factory) and had lived in the area before
the arrival of Lewis. I have not yet been able to verify this in any other
source. This may have been Ida's great-grandfather because her grandfather, William
Smith, Jr., was born in New Jersey around 1796. He died in 1875 when he was
"almost eighty". Lewis bought his land in 1794 but did not build his
glass factory until 1808. Smith also owned a farm at the foot of the mountain,
the area now occupied by the village of Muncy Valley, which he sold to Robert
Taylor 2nd when he moved to Elk Lick in 1833 after the death of Lewis.
Thomas Bennett, brother of Joel, was
born in New Jersey about 1781 and moved to Lycoming County, Pennsylvania,
probably in 1808 where he worked for George Lewis at Lewis Lake (now Eagles
Mere) and then operated a grist mill for Lewis on the outlet of Hunter's Lake.
He purchased fifty acres from his brother which Joel had obtained from Peter
Knott in 1807. Thomas married in New Jersey to Phebe Woolsy (or Wooley, or
Worley) and at least two of their children were born there – Joel
"Jr" in 1804 and Nimrod, Joseph being born in Pennsylvania in 1809.
Phebe died 31 Aug 1857 and is buried
in the Edkin Hill Cemetery, Shrewsbury Township, Sullivan County, PA where her
stone indicates she was born 7 Jul 1781. Thomas then married Susann Wilson 3
Jan 1859. There is an unmarked fieldstone marking the grave adjacent to Phebe
which may mark Thomas' final resting place. He died 1869. There is some
uncertainty as to his birthdate. The 1850 census said both Thomas and Phebe
were age 72 (making their birth year 1778). The 1860 census said Thomas was age
80 (making his birth year 1780, but that was the same year his brother Joel was
born). Beverly Fedder, a 3rd great-granddaughter said he died in 1870 at age 88
(making his birth year 1782). However, letters of administration for his
estate were issued by the court in April 1869. So if he was 88 when he died, he
probably was born in 1781, the same year as his wife.
Children:
1. Joel Bennett "Jr"
(called Jr to distinguish him from his uncle) born 1804 in New Jersey. Married
Eliza ? who was born i806 in England. They were in New York state at the
1830 census, their first five children born there, returned to Eagles Mere, PA
by 1840 census where their last three children were born. Two young sons are
buried in the Edkin Hill Cemetery.
2. Nimrod Bennett born in New
Jersey. In Ontario County, NY with Joel at the 1830 census, moved to Town of
Catherine, Chemung County, NY by 1840.
3. Joseph Bennett, born 25 Mar 1809
Shrewsbury Twp., Lycoming Co., PA; died 31 Aug 1882 at Mooresburg, Montour Co,
PA; married Sarah Fiester (1819-1882). Had 9 children.
4. William Watson Bennett, born 13
Mar 1811 Lycoming Co., PA; died 9 Mar 1880 Shrewsbury Twp., Sullivan County,
PA, buried Edkin Hill Cemetery, Sullivan Co., PA; married Levina Fiester
(sister of Sarah) born 18 Oct 1824 Lycoming Co., PA, died 23 Oct 1894, buried
Edkin Hill Cem., Sullivan Co., PA. Had 8 children.
5. Frank Bennett married Levina
Reese, moved to Michigan.
6. George L. Bennett born 1817, died
1906; married Lydia Ann Little (1815-1892), both buried Eagles Mere, Sullivan
Co., PA. Had 6 children.
7. Charles Bennett, born 1823,
married Margaret Taylor.
8. Mary Bennett, died 8 Aug 1894;
married 1838 Robert Taylor who was born 11 Sep 1804, died 25 Dec 1891, lived
Muncy Valley, buried Pleasant Hill Cem., Hughesville, PA. They had 8 children.
9. Agnes Bennett, married 22 Nov
1827 to John Glidewell (1800-1898), she died 6 May 1892 buried Cherry Hill
Cem., Davidson Twp., Sullivan Co., PA. They had 11 children. Son Andrew married
Ann Bennett, dau. of Edmond.
10. Dahlia (Delia) Bennett married
William Taylor.
11. David Bennett married Margaret
Steelman.
12. Elizabeth Bennett.
The information on Thomas Bennett's
family came mostly from Miss Fedder of Muncy, PA who is descended from his son
William Watson Bennett. She is working on documenting that branch of the family
as I have been working on Joel's. George L. Bennett's family is documented in
'The Genealogy of the Theophilus Little Family" and Agnes Bennett
Glidewell's family is fairly well documented in "The Glidewells of
Sullivan County". Both latter books are included in the library of the
Sullivan County Historical Society at Laporte, PA.
