- Doris Bennett from Mart TX writes, "Loniel Bennett was born in the Cortland Co area in 1792, parents unknown. He married Sarah Norton (b.1796 CT) in/near Homer, NY. Ceremony performed by an Elder Husted. First son Loniel/Lionel was born in Homer 1816. Loniel and Sarah are very closely connected to the family of Nathan Norton and sons David, Amos, Niram Nicolas, and Nathan Jr. All were in Homer in 1820 and then move on to either Geauga Co OH or Erie Co, PA. Nathan Sr can not be located on 1830 census, so he probably died between 1820 & 1830. Sarah could possibly be the daughter of David Norton. I am trying to find the parents of Loniel Bennett. In his biography, his family is referred to as "long time Cortland Co residents". In the biography of his son John H, reference is made to Loniel's service in the Army of New York in the War of 1812. With the 1810 census missing, I am at a loss as to who was there and who his parents were. Anyone with information of either Loniel Bennett or the above named Nortons, please contact me.

Wondering if there might be a gravestone. He was born on Nantucket; father Charles Griffin Coffin lived in Easton, NY and part of Quaker meeting there. James was married to Fidelia Palmer, who later moved to New Jersey and taught school with her sister. Late relatives recalled donating a Civil War diary (and more?) to NY State but nobody knows the details. Lost younger brother Henry Judson Coffin at Gettysburg and himself was captured there and held prisoner for 21 months, but I'm not sure where he was held. Our family recently visited Easton and plan to visit Cortland one of these days. Would love any info I can't find online!
