JOSEPH PAINTER BENNETT, was born 2 Apr 1832 and died 21 May 1914; and married Margaret Hafer (1832-1893) on 2 Jan 1862; born 8 May 1832 and died 3 March 1893. It is probable that Joseph and his mother came to Bottle Run in the early 1850's. His mother lived in a log cabin a short distance from where Bethel Presbyterian Church now stands, having purchased a farm of about 360 acres. His father was dead, or whereabouts unknown, when Joseph and his mother came to Bottle Run. He was a devout Presbyterian Church member, and very active in organizing the Bethel Presbyterian Church at Bottle Run, two miles north of Williamsport, PA., and was one of the church's first elders. The church first met in the school house, later they met in the Grange Hall, until Joseph donated a parcel of land from his farm and the present Bethel Presbyterian Church was built about 1910; and was an active elder at the time of his death in 1914. The following five children were born of Joseph and Margaret (Hafer) Bennett: Clara H. Bennett, Janette Bennett, Mary Martha Bennett, George Washington Bennett, and Edward Coleman Bennett. All of the children lived and died in Lycoming County, PA.spouse: Hafer, Margaret Caroline (1832 - 1893)It is believed that Joseph Painter Bennett's first and middle name, was derived from his parents minister's name, Joseph Painter.

His Christian name is widely preserved among the descendants of his sister, Martha Bingham Bement. The third son, Daniel Bingham, also settled in Salisbury in 1750 and married Esther Willard 12 Jan 1775. They were the parents of Caleb Bingham, born 14 Mar 1794 and once the owner of a large farm between the Twin Lakes at Salisbury, later the well known preacher and bookseller of Boston, and the compiler of the "Columbian Orator", and the famous old school-reader "The National Preceptor."

THOMAS BINGHAM, the first of his name in New England, married at Norwich, 12 Dec 1666. He was a "master cuttler". Mary, doubtless the eldest daughter of Lieutenant Jonathan Rudd of Saybrooke, Connecticut, whose wife was, in 1647, the celebrated Bride of Bride Brook. The story told in verse and on the musty documents of Connecticut, for the marriage ceremony was performed by no less a person than the younger John Winthrop of New London, who, however, acting under a commission from Massachusetts, had no authority at Saybrooke, and thus required the contracting parties to meet him half-way between the two points, where the marriage was celebrated. Mr. Bingham remained at Norwich about 25 years, after which he settled at Windham, where he was deacon of the church and died 16 Jan 1730, aged eighty-eight years.spouse: Rudd, Mary (1649 - 1726)Bement Chronicles in America 1928

The four commoners were tried on May 12, and Anne and her brother on May 15; all were convicted of high treason. Whether Anne was guilty of these crimes has never been determined. It is known that Henry wanted to remarry. Anne's uncle, Thomas Howard, 3rd duke of Norfolk, presided over the judges who condemned her to death. No record of the evidence remains.
