John BENNETT was born on 28 Jan 1823 in Hart County (Eve), KY. John Bennett's family is listed on page 373 of the 1870 Hart County Census. Area is Powder Mills District.

He is also listed on the earlier censuses for this area.
He died on 2 Jul 1915 in Hart County (Eve), KY. He was buried in Bennett Cemetery near Lynn Camp Creek.⁽¹⁵⁶⁾ Directions to the cemetery:
Travel 3.1 miles east of Linwood, KY on Highway # 566 to just past the Lynn Camp Creek bridge at Green River. Make a left turn onto Bennett Road and go approx. 0.4 mile to the top of the hill just past the tobacco barn that is on the right side of the road. There is a metal gate on the left side of the road in the grove of large pine trees. The cemetery is at the end of the road in a group of hardwood trees just before the road heads down hill. John (age 87) and "Emarine" (age 67) were living with a son, Henry M. Bennett and his wife, Flora B. when the 1910 Hart County Census was taken. They were probably living in the John Bennett home. Another son, Worth, was living in the next house according to the Census record. Parents: William BENNETT and Sarah (Sally) MCCUBBIN.

He was married to Sarah PERKINS on 30 Sep 1842 in Hart County, KY. John apparently stayed in KY in 1842 and married rather than move to the Breckenridge, MO area with his mother and brothers. However, it is possible that he and his new wife moved to Missouri and then returned within the next 1-3 years. All of his children were born in KY according to all available records and the first child was born in 1846. This is consistent with the commets below concerning purchase of the farm in approx. 1845 when John was 22 years old. See comments on Sarah McCubbin Bennett concerning the family's move to Missouri in 1842..

According to notes James Bennett wrote from a conversation with his father, John Henry Bennett, John Bennett, William's son, purchased the farm on top of the hill near the mouth of Lynn Camp Creek when he was 22 years old (aprox. 1845 based on his birth year). The land had 2 cleared acres out of a total of 200 acres. Approximately 120 acres of this land has been owned continuously by his descedents ever since it was purchased by John. As of the year 2000, it is still owned by Nancy Bennett, widow of Frank Bennett. Frank was the great grandson of John Bennett. Children were: William Thomas Bennett , Nancy E. Bennett, Sarah F. Bennett, Martha Jane Bennett.

He was married to Martha Jane PERKINS on 10 Mar 1851 in Green Co, KY. Children were: John Edmond Bennett, James Madison Bennett, Mary Ellen Bennett, Virginia C.
