Hello Jack and Jim,
May I jump in here as the 1850 Aaron Bennett is mine:
Here is the following information on Aaron BENNET'S family.
Aaron 49 NJ laborer
Huldah 42 Ohio (Hulda Ann Watkins)
Elizabeth 22 Ohio
Elijah 14 Ohio
Joseph 12 Ohio
Alexander 10 Ind
Phebe 8 Ind
Aaron 3 Ind
Mary 20 Ohio
Jeremiah 4/12 Ind
Mary 47 Pa

I lost Aaron and his family after 1850 in Wabash. A brother Charles is
living in Jay Co. Ind ( this one is my direct line) in 1850 Charles d. in
1855 there and another brother, Lindsey is in Barry Co Missouri in
1850...in 1860 Lindsey is in Stoddard County, Missouri.
As you can see the Joseph above was born about 1838. Allen Co isn't too
far from Jay.
Sure would like to track down Aaron and Huldah BENNETT.
Selma

Hi Jack: Possibly this will be of some help with your, Joseph M.
Bennett. I have a CD for the 1850 and 1860 census. These CD's
included only head of household in SELECTED counties in SELECTED
states.

The 1860 CD does not list any Wabash Co., Indiana at all. I did
however find a Joseph Bennett in Grant Co. which is the adjoining
county to the South of Wabash. He is shown on page 290 in Liberty
Township.

The 1850 CD does list Wabash Co., Indiana residences but of course
your Joseph is not listed because he would have only been about 9 or
10yrs. old. The only Bennett listed in Wabash Co., Ind. is one Aaron
Bennett on page 439 in Noble Township.

Hope this helps.
