The grandfather of Jesse, Aquilla et al, emigrated with family to Virginia taking up an immense tract of land there. From Virginia they moved to Pennsylvania, thought to be somewhere near the Susquehanna River as they often spoke of it. Becoming probably dissatisfied, the grandfather returned to England, the family remaining in America until during some Indian war or raid the father, who name is thought to be Issac Bennett, was killed and scalped after which the mother and chldren moved to Canada. Mrs. Bennett did not like her new home in Canada and went back to Pennsylvania with her daughter Jinny and son Jacob who afterwards moved to Iowa, where he had property. Some years afterwards he again visited Canada, bringing his sister Hannah Barton, a widow.

Issac and his brother William were sons of an Issac Bennett (grandfather who returned to England) who is said to have come from England, but my family were always told that we, the Bennetts, were Irish. I understand from another source (Draper) that if they (the Irish) went to England first, they qualified for land in the Americas
