Edward died of TB but can’t find where if exacally when. I haven’t been able to find his parents.
Hi Brenda,
I found him on the 1900 Taylor Co census, ED128 Flemington District, 9 June, p.5A (stamped 242), at 96, 96:
Bennett, Edward, w, m, June 1863, m’d, 10 yrs, Oh, Oh, Ger.
Melvina, wife, w, f, May 1871, 29, m’d, 10 yrs, WV, WV, WV.
Fred, son, Aug 1891, 8, WV
Mable, dau, Sept 1893, 6, WV.
Della, dau, Feb 1896, 4, WV.
Mortin, son, Feb 1898, 2, WV.
Charles L., Brother, Sept 1865, 34, sgl, WV.
Looking for Bennett’s with sons Edward and Charles yielded up 2 in Ohio in 1880 – households of
1) James M., 57, Oh, Va, Md.
2) Andrew J., Oh, Pa, Pa.
Still looking.
Of interest, is a Howard Bennett, 26, WV, Tn, Tn & family living next door to Lloyd W. Cotrill, 27, WV, WV, WV., in 1880 Taylor Co in Flemington District but no specifics fit.

Mother had in a note that father was Fransis Bennett of Canel Dover, Ohio, however, years ago I looked at the micro fish and I think the dates didn’t match. Then a Cottrill researcher told me he “believed” he may have been from the line of William Bennett (Harrison /Lewis Counties of WV) I searched this line but found no Edward. Now I wonder if he also used a middle name.
BTW Delle Bennett didn’t reach adulthood. I was told she died in a house fire very young. It appears she was still alive in 1900.
I have Martin’s birth certificate….it gives his father as Charles Bennett……interesting ; no wonder why I can’t get to the truth.
Edward Bennett must have died shortly after the 1900 census was taken. In 1910, Melvina was re-married and had been for 9 years…….
