Biography

John was a Friend (Quaker)

John Bennet, son of John Bennet, of Overly, in the county of Worcester, England, and Ann Brinton, daughter of William Brinton, of Nether Gowreal, in the parish of Sedgley and county of Stafford, were married 4, 18, 1684, at a meeting at Stourbridge, in Staffordshire. ^[1]

John and his brother, Edward, doubtless came to Pennyslvania soon after this date and John was appointed constable of Birmingham township in the 10th month, 1686. He settled at first on land of his father-in-law, William Brinton, but in 1696 purchased 500 acres adjoining on the north. John Bennett died in 1709, leaving four children: William, Olive (married to William Pyle) John and Ann (married to Joseph England). ^[2]

Researcher's Notes

The marriage date 4, 18, 1684 cannot be written April 18, 1684 due to the differences in the Old Style Calendar. Before 1752 the year began on Lady Day, March 25th,. Dates between January 1st and March 24th were at the end of the year. Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) are used to indicate whether the year has been adjusted. Often both dates are used. So, when the biographer states that John was made constable in the 10th month, this is not necessarily the month of October.
