The Bennett family is descended from Stephen Bennet and from the Bennett family which founded the modern mill in the town of Geneva, Illinois in the mid-1800s.

Warner & Bennett FamiliesThe inspiration for this site comes from Richard Chisholm Bennett of Park Forest, Illinois, who has devoted many years to assembling and chronicling the history of the Bennett family of Geneva, Illinois. Richard Bennett is one of two sons of Rufus Bennett, who was one of seven sons of George Henry Bennett, owner of the Bennett Mill in Geneva, Illinois at the turn of the 19th century. Richard Bennett's daughter Cathryne Bennett Warner, is married to Christopher J. Warner, grandson of Faith Welling Merrill of Columbus, Ohio and Charleston, West Virginia. Faith Merrill (Mrs. Ernest M. Merrill) also inspired this site. She was a lifelong D.A.R. member and Colonial Dame member who assembled an extensive genealogical history of her family, dating back to the Dickerson and King families, ancestors who were residents of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the 1600s.
Contact InformationThis site is created by Christopher J. Warner, of San Anselmo, California. Please feel free to e-mail him at "CWarner552@aol.com" if you have any suggestions or comments.
