Daniel Bennett
Daniel Bennett was born about 1827 in Steuben Co., NY. His father was captured by the Indians about 1828 when Daniel was about age 1, and while captured he remarried an Indian woman named Charlotte Gitchell. Jacob had a child named Comfort with Charlotte in 1929, and he had returned with her to Steuben Co., NY by 1830. There are 2 males under 10 in the household of Jacob Bennett on the 1830 census of Howard, Steuben Co., NY, who may be Jacob, age 5, Daniel, age 3 and/or Comfort, age 1. There is one male age 10-15 in Jacob's household in 1840, but I think it is son Comfort, age 10 so I'm not sure where Daniel (age 13) & his brother Jacob B. (age 15) were that year. Daniel married Maroa Rose about 1846 in probably Steuben Co., NY, and they had 6 children. The family is listed on the 1850 census of Howard, Steuben Co., NY. Based on birth places of the children, the family moved from New York to Ohio between 1850-1853. A biography of son-in-law Benjamin Taylor (married daughter Ida) states that Maroa Rose Bennett was born in Geauga Co., OH, and that is where the family went. Daniel Bennet is listed as a son & heir in Jacob Bennett's will (written on January 25, 1851 & probated December 1, 1851). Daniel Bennett died in 1858 in Troy, Geauga Co., OH. Maroa is listed as head of household with the children on the 1860 census of Troy, Geauga Co., Ohio. Maroa remarried Leman Sperry sometime between 1860 & 1868. It was the third marriage for Leman, and he had at least 1 grown daughter from his first marriage. Leman Sperry died on June 25, 1868 in Burton, Geauga Co., OH. Maroa is listed with the children twice on the 1870 census of Troy, Geauga Co., OH, once as Maroa Bennet and once as Maria Sperry. Maroa moved from Geauga to Portage Co., Ohio sometime between 1870-1880, and she is listed on the 1880, 1900 & 1910 censuses of Hiram, Portage Co., OH, living with or near the household of married son Charles. In 1910 she was age 86 & widowed. I do not find her on the 1920 census at this time, and believe that Maroa Rose Bennett Sperry died between 1910-1920 in Hiram, Portage Co., Ohio. Children of Daniel Bennett & Meroa Rose are: Twins Lester & Levi (1847), Ella (1850), Charles (1853) & twins Ida & Watson (1857).Notes for Daniel Bennett

In July 1856, Daniel Bennett left his home on Lost Road, Troy Township, Geauga County Ohio, near Hiram Rapids, to visit his brother Phillip in Michigan. Although he later visited Hiram, Ohio, he never went home again. He was later reported to have been killed in the American Civil War.
