William Bennett was the first-born child of Robert and Cecilia Cuban Bennett. He was born in Lancashire, England in 1808 and lived there until 1819. Deciding that opportunity was greater in America, William's parents along with William and his brothers and sisters (John, Ellen, Elizabeth, Mary, and George) started for America in 1819 on a small sailing ship.
After nine long weeks, the family arrived in Baltimore. They then sailed down the Ohio River hoping to reach Illinois but landed in Gallia County, Ohio when some of the family became sick. They rented a farm, had money enough to buy a cow, and remained there seven years. Williams's brothers, Robert and Richard, were born there, and sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, died in that place.
Williams's parents then moved the family north to Perry County, Ohio to be near the Catholic church at Somerset. His brother Thomas and sister Elizabeth (the second) were born in Perry County, making a family of ten children. After living on various farms in the area, the family finally settled in Pleasant Township.
William married Mary Fitzsimmons and also raised a family of ten children; Lucy, Cecilia, Francis, Mary, William, Ann, Thomas, Ella, Elizabeth, and Amelia. William died in 1888 at 80 years of age.
