THADDEUS BENNETT, son of EPHRAIM BENNETT and MARY JANE STAFFORD, was born May 9, 1760 in Warwick, Rhode Island, and died February 9, 1834 in Scioto County, Ohio. He is buried in Harrison Township, near Portsmouth, Ohio. He married (1) SHEBA EUNICE BENTLEY, daughter of GREEN BENTLEY and DIANA STRAIGHT, September 10, 1780 in Orange County, New York. She was born January 19, 1762, and died December 31, 1799. He married (2) ELIZABETH (unknown last name) about 1801 in New York. She died May 7, 1826. He married (3) RACHAEL CHENEY, August 17, 1828 in Scioto County, Ohio. She was born March 5, 1765.

Notes: According to family lore, Thaddeus and his family came down the Allegheny River on a pole raft to the Ohio River around 1810-1813. They settled in Portsmouth, Ohio, and later moved about 20 miles northeast to Harrison, Ohio. Here they built an eight-room log cabin.

Thaddeus and son Joseph were good friends with William Henry Harrison. Joseph met him in the War of 1812, before his presidency, and they became good friends. He used to visit Thaddeus and Joseph there in the log cabin. Joseph named the township for him, which he and Thaddeus and his brothers owned most of. The town has since been renamed Minford (Ohio) but at one time was called Harrisonville.

Thaddeus and Joseph were both ordained Baptist ministers and are buried next to each other. Thaddeus was also an American Revolution veteran.

Thaddeus' grave is in the town of Minford, Ohio - about a 20 minute drive from Portsmouth. Take Rt 139 north out of Portsmouth and head for Minford. In Minford, turn right on State Route 335. About 1/2 to 1 mile on the right is Grange Hall (across from a large school). It's just a cement block small building in a pretty grove of trees. Pull into the Grange and to your left, up a little hill, is the small cemetery. Thaddeus is to the left and towards the back. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to find the grave as there are only maybe 50 to 70 graves still marked.
