Henry Bennet
Henry Bennet lived at Lyme, Connecticut, on the east side of the mouth of the Connecticut River. Lyme had been settled about 1664 as East Saybrook and became a town of its own in 1667.
On 9 December 1673 he married Sarah, the eldest daughter of Henry Champion, one of the first settlers of Saybrook and Lyme. The Lyme town records list their children: Caleb, born 11 October 1675; Rose, 15 November 1677; John, 26 December 1680; Sarah, 7 August 1683; Love, 19 March 1685; Dorothy, written "Dorete," 19 May 1688; and Henry, 29 July 1691.
When his father-in-law died in 1708, Henry Bennet was one of the heirs who signed a paper declaring themselves satisfied with the division of the estate.
He made deeds of gift to his children. The one to Dorothy was signed on 24 February 1706/7 and recorded on 5 March 1707 in the second book of Lyme records, folio 347. In 1709 she married Jeremiah Wood and went with him to Massachusetts.
He was a proprietor of Voluntown, the tract granted in 1696 to the volunteers who had fought in the Narragansett war. On 9 October 1722 he gave half his volunteer lot there to his son-in-law. His will remembered his daughter Dorothy Wood. He died in 1726, "leaving three sons and four married daughters."
