D.D.
[The son of Dr. John Bennett, a native of Connecticut, who removed to New Haven about 1817, for the better education of his children. In December, 1825, he entered the navy as midshipman, and had attained the rank of lieutenant before his resignation. Before he left the service he began theological studies under the direction of his former pastor, the Rev. Dr. Croswell of New Haven. He was ordained as deacon in the Episcopal Church by Bishop Brownell, at New Haven, on July 1, 1834, and began his ministry with Christ Church in Guilford, Conn. The following Easter he was chosen associate rector of Trinity Church, New Haven, and was put in charge of St. Paul's Chapel. He was advanced to the priesthood by Bishop Brownell in New Haven, on November 20, 1835. On July 12,1840, he went back to the parish in Guilford, which he served for forty years, or until July, 1880, when he resigned and was made rector emeritus. His long rectorship was fruitful in blessings to the whole town, and he remained there through the rest of his life, universally honored, until his very sudden death on September 2, 1889, on his 84th year. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on him by Trinity College in 1866. He was married, June 6, 1831, to Jane C. Prindle, of New Haven , and after her death was again married, July 22, 1839, to Marina B. daughter of Jacob Smith, of East Haven, Conn., who survived him with one daughter, the wife of T. H. Bishop, M.D.
