Hi Sandy [31 December 2012]

I just wanted to welcome you to WeRelate. My name is Debbie Vietzke, I subscribe to the ILJEFFER mailing list so I recognized your name when I was browsing the new Person pages tonight. I have been participating here for a few months and I really enjoy it. It's a work in progress, they are still working out the kinks. I have a feeling you and I will probably "meet up" here at some point as I have a lot of people in the Franklin-Jefferson-Saline-Hamilton-Williamson-Perry area. --Debbie V. 22:49, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

Hi Debbie, sorry I didn't see your message earlier. I really haven't been active here on WeRelate but of course I see your messages on the southern IL genealogy lists. I figure one of these days we will find a connection between our families somewhere. I still hope to make a trip to southern Indiana one of these days to do more research on my families in Clark, Jennings, Jefferson counties.--Sandyebauer 11:52, 31 December 2012 (EST)

Underwood Lines [31 December 2012]

Hi,

Interesting to see your progress on your Underwoods. I may have some information to share. I've made several visits to Jennings and Jefferson Co., IN to do research. Would like to hear from you on this.

Bob--Cjdaniels 21:36, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Hi Bob, as I mentioned in my commment to Debbie, I haven't really been very active on WeRelate and just now saw your comment. I would love to know more about the Underwood family and related lines if you have new information.--Sandyebauer 11:53, 31 December 2012 (EST)

Thomas Flint and wife Ann (not Southwick) [31 March 2009]

Please note that Thomas Flint b 1619 was not married to Ann Southwick. She married John Southwick after Thomas died. Read more I've found in my research on the Flint family below:

Early Flints in New England

Four men by the name of Flint were among the founders of New England. They were Henry Flint, a clergyman, who came to Boston in 1635 and became minister of the church at Braintree, Mass. in 1640; his brother, Thomas Flint, who came in 1638 and settled in Concord, Mass.; another Thomas Flint who came to salem, Mass. in or before 1638 and his brother, William Flint, who came to salem probably about the same time, although the first mention of him on the records is in 1642. Henry of Braintree and Thomas of Concord came from the parish of Matlock in Derbyshire, England, while Thomas and William of Salem came from Wales. That these two sets of brothers had a common ancestor is probable, but what the relatinoship was, has never been learned.

Henry Flint, the minister at Braintree, married a sister of President Hoar of Harvard. His oldest son, Josiah, graduated from Harvard in 1664 and became minister of the church in Dorchester, Mass. Josiah died when a young man but left two children who became well known. These were Henry who graduated from Harvard in 1693 and who held the position of tutor at the college for fifty-five years, and Dorothy who married Edmund Quincy and by so doing became the first "Dorothy Q" of colonial history. It was this Dorothy who added to the famous mansion house at Quincy, now popularly known as the "Dorothy Q house", the two-story ell for the use of her brother, Tutor Flint.

Thomas flint, the emigrant ancestor, came to America, as tradition reports, from Wales, in Great Britain. The first mention made of him in the town records of Salem is in 1650; but there is reason to believe that he came to this country much earlier; and there is also some evidence to show that he had a mother here as early as 1642. he was among the first settlers of Salem Village, now South Danvers. The spot in the wilderness which he selected for his home is situated on the Salem and North Reading road, about six miles from the present Court House in Salem, and give miles from the town of North reading, and near Phelp's mill and brook. He acquired his land by purchase. the first deed to him on record, "containing one hundred and fifty acres of meadow and pasture land, and lying within the bounds of Salem," he bought Sept. 18, 1654, of John Pickering. The price paid for this land is not mentioned; but quite a good opinion can be formed of its value, from the fact that John Pickering, three years before, gave Mr. John Higginson thirteen pounds for the same land.

The second lot recorded, containing fifty acres, he purchased 1st January, 1662, of Robert Goodall, for which he paid twenty pounds sterling. It is described as situated in Salem, and as beign "near upon a square," and bounded southerly by land of Henry Phelps, weesterly by Phelps's Brook, and northerly and easterly by land of said Goodall. *

This farm of the old patriarch has always remained in the possession of his descendants. It is now occupied by the heirs of Elijah Flint (238), and may truly be called the old homestead, it having been in the family more than two hundred years. He died April 15, 1663. His wife's name was Ann. They had six children.

2. Thomas 3. Elizabeth, born April 30, 1650 4. George, born January 6, 1652 5. John, born October 3, 1655 6. Anna, born December 25, 1657; died April, 1663 7. Joseph, born 1662

• This deed was witnessed by Giles Cory, whose house stood upon land that after his death became a part of the Flint homestead. When eighty years of age, Cory fell a victim to the witchcraft delusion of 1692, by suffering, the cruel torture of being pressed to death - the first and the only instance of this barbarous punishment inflicted in New England.

Thomas Flint of Concord has been characterized as a "man of wealth, talents and a Christian character." He took an active part, as shown by the town records, in the affairs of Concord until his death in 1653, holding important offices and using his wealth which appears to have been considerable, for the benefit of the town. He left many descendants.

William Flint of Salem was an active member of that community from 1642 until 1673. He accumulated considerable property in Salem in the section of the town where Flint Street now is. It is probably that his dwelling house stood near the corner of Flint and Essex Streets and that his sons and later descendants built homes in this vicinity. * According to one historian he, at one time, occupied the farm of Emanuel Downing at Salem Village. The settlement of his estate in 1673 shows that he left a widow, two sons, Edward and Thomas, and three daughters, all living in Salem. Another daughter was married and living in England. An interesting item which indicates the status of the family is found in the early records where it is stated that in 1652, Alice, daughter of William Flint, was arraigned before the Essex County Court for wearing a silk hood, but on proving that her father was worth two hundred pounds, was discharged.

Thomas Flint of Salem, the fourth of the early Flints in New England, was the imigrant ancestor on the line whose record follows.

Thomas Flint of Salem

Thomas Flint [1], the first of the family with which this record is concerned, came, according to tradition, from Wales, in or before 1638. He was made a freeman of Salem in March of that year. It is probably that he lived in Salem in March of that year. It is probably that he lived in Salem for a short time but it is impossible now to be sure of the location of his first residence. The map of Salem in 1700 marks the site of a Thomas Flint house on Essex Street near the corner of Summer Street and it is possible that this was the earliest Flint house in Salem. The fact that iw as nearly opposite the ancient house still standing on the corner of Essex and North Streets and known as the Witch House is at least an indication that there may be truth in this theory, for the WitchHouse has been called also the Roger Williams House and there is a family tradition that the earliest Flint house stood near that or Roger Williams.

Thomas Flint did not however remain long in Salem Town but was one of a small group who very early moved out into the wilderness some six miles beyond the original settlement and founded what was known as Salem Village. Thomas increased his first property in the new village by a purchase in 1654 and another in 1662. The homestead which he established remained in the family for generatinos and the farm provided sites for the homes of a number of his descendants. In April 1663 Thomas and his five year old daughter Anna died and it is probable that theirs were the first graves in the ancient family burial place on a hilltop in the fields back of the site of the old house.

Of Ann, the wife of Thomas nothing is known except that when she made her will in 1668, five years after her husband's death, she was the wife of John Southwick (Sutherick)

• Data concerning this family is given in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register of 1860, Vol, 14, and in pamphlet entitled "The Flint Genealogy" by J. Lawrence Bass.

William & Andrew Bennett [31 December 2012]

Sandy:

Looking for information on William Bennett and family I believe he may have had family in Scott County, Indiana. I can be contacted at the following email address: dale3cr@mchsi.com

Dale Bennett Cedar Rapids, Iowa

William Bennett (Believed to be the father of Andrew Bennett)

William Bennett first appeared in the 1820 Federal Census dated 7 August 1820 in Jennings County, Indiana with (5) people in his house hold – 1 male (10-15), 2 males (16-25), 1 male (45 and over) and 1 female (10-15). It appears William didn’t have a wife. On the line above William is listed a John Bennett probably his brother with the following people in the house hold - 1 name (26-44), 1 female (under 10) and 1 female (under 18) and 1 female (26-44). William Bennett has a male (16-25) which would match the age group in which Andrew Bennett would have been in having been born in 1801 according to the 1850 Federal Census of Hancock County, Illinois.

In the 1830 Federal Census of Jennings County, Indiana William and John Bennett where not found. However, William Bennett reappeared in the 1840 Federal Census of Jennings County, Indiana with the following persons in this house hold – 1 male (60-69) 1 female (20-29) and 1 female (50-59). William may have remarried or his wife is back and being counted in this census. The female listed in the 1820 census may still be in the house hold. William Bennett and John Osborn are found in this census on the same page in close proximity to William Bennett. John Osborn was the father of Andrew Bennett’s wife Catharine “Kitty” Osborn who where married in 1828. Andrew Bennett and his family later came to Hancock County, Illinois in the Fall of 1845. Andrew and Kitty had the following children: William S, Minerva (Payne), James Ellis, Jesse Franklin, Henry Harrison, John L, Nancy (Ramsey), Mary Emiline (Welsh) and Sarah Caroline (Smith) these girls where twins.

William Bennett owned land in Jennings County, Indiana described as being in Section 25 Township 5 Range 7 in the NE and NW part of the section containing 25 acres. The land was sold after this death on 10 March 1843 (Coffee Creek Baptist Church Records) to the executor of his estate Boyd W. Hudson on 11 October 1845 for the sum of Seventy Five dollars to settle outstanding debits against his estate. Church records of the Coffee Creek Baptist Church show that William Bennett was a member on 1 August 1836 but later left the church on 4 August 1837 then returned to membership on 8 October 1841. Other Bennett’s in the church at this time where Isham Bennett, Mary Ann Bennett, Caty Bennett (probably Catharine “Kitty” Andrews wife), John Bennett, Mary Bennett. On 5 December 1832 William and Caty Bennett where baptized in the Coffee Creek Baptist Church. William Bennett is listed in the Coffee Creek Baptist Church records as having departed this life 10 March 1843. No Bennett names appear in the church records after the death of William Bennett. The location of his grave is unknown at this time. Church records don’t show he was buried in the church cemetery and the location of his burial is not known at this time.--Clipper392 08:57, 31 December 2012 (EST)

Dale, I'm happy to hear from you. My William Bennett b 30 Mar 1791 d 6 Mar 1873 in Jefferson Co, IL and is buried at Laird Cemetery near Belle Rive, Jefferson Co, IL and I have a photograph of his gravestone. We know my Bennett family came from Indiana to Illinois in 1866 according to a note my great grandmother wrote in a small tablet I have inherited. William's gravestone is engraved with "Wm. Bennett died March 6, 1873 aged 81 yrs 11 Mns 7 Dys". William's son Andrew Bennett is also buried in the same cemetery along with his wife Philena Jennings. Andrew's daughter Loucetta is also buried in the cemetery along with her husband Washington W. Butler. Loucetta's daughter Maude Butler is also buried there with her husband Rosco Vern Whalen, my dad's parents. My cousin's maintain the cemetery and I've been there many times myself. A Laird ancestor on my mom's side of the family donated the land for the cemetery.

Have you looked at any of my Bennett family photos to see if you see a resemblance to any of your family?

I have large Bennett family reunion photos from 1928, 1929 and 1930 I am happy to share with anyone that thinks they may have family in the photos. They are about 8 inches tall by 30 inches wide so they had to be scanned in sections to share via email. I also have letters written in 1861 and 1863 and copies of other letters written in the 1860's that my cousin John Bennett discovered. We're always looking for more "cousins" to extend our knowledge of our families.--Sandyebauer 12:32, 31 December 2012 (EST)
