Notes

I believe the Matthew in KY listed below is the same Matthew that was in Vincennes IN in 1807 though NOT absolutely PROVEN at this time it is a strong probability since his first son John was born in IN. Also guessing that he is a brother of Etheldred T. BASS.

Mathew BASS died in Bullitt Co., KY about April 1844 as his estate inventory was conducted 18 April 1844 by William Smith, administrator of his estate, witnessed by James E. Gentry, Fountain Gentry and Nimron (Miner?) Mothershead. Recorded in Will Book C p. 345. Who is Elizabeth BASS who purchased many items in this estate sale? Is she is his wife, why isn't she executrix? ... perhaps she was his second wife or related in other ways.

Notes

The children of John Benning, by his wife, Sarah Cobb, were: Joseph, Pleasant Moon, Susan, Elizabeth, Sarah Cobb, Thomas, and perhaps others.

"Daughter Sarah (Sally) Cobb was married to John Benning, a descendant of Huguenot Francois Benin of Manakintowne, Virginia. They became the parents of several children. One of these children was Pleasant Moon Benning, father of Confederate General Henry Lewis Benning of Columbus, for whom the mighty Fort Benning is named. The Benning and Cobb Family of Georgia produced many great and well-known men and women of Georgia history.

Descendants include Henry L. Benning, Judge Benning B. Moore, Henry Grady, the South's Greatest Orator, John Benning Daniel, founder of the John Benning Daniel Drug Wholesale Company, Augustus Harrrison Benning, former steamer Captain in China and builder of the Flatiron Bank Building in downtown Atlanta, and Thomas Cobb Benning, Methodist Circuit Riding Preacher, father of Augustus H. Benning. Thomas Cobb Benning relocated his family from Savannah, Georgia in 1848 to Brooklyn, New York. Augustus returned to Atlanta in the late 1800's and married a cousin, Margaret Rowena Russell. This line of Bennings was influential in Atlanta at the turn of the century. Margaret and Gus produced six children, one of whom, Theodore Russell Benning, founded the Benning Construction Company. John Benning Daniel, uncle of Lucian Lamar Knight, founder and president of the Department of State Archives in Atlanta, was a business partner of John S. Pemberton, founder of Coca Cola.

The Russell line, which married into the Benning line in McDonough, Henry County, Georgia in 1863, with the marriage of James Gamble Russell and Sarah Louisa Smith, daughter of Rowena Elizabeth Benning and John Pemberton Smith, had been in the State of Georgia since the 1820's. The Russell Line, herein, settled in McDonough, Henry County, where they have had a presence ever since. This Russell line migrated from Winnsboro, South Carolina. The Benning-Russell line described herein are cousins to the late, great Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia.

Pleasant M. Benning, married a Miss White, and became the father of General Henry Lewis Benning, whose gallantry on the field won for him the soubriquet of "Old Rock." He afterwards became a judge of the Supreme Court of Georgia. he married a daughter of Honorable Seaborn Jones, a member of Congress. One of his daughters, Louisa Vivian, married Samuel Spencer, afterwards president of the Southern Railway System, and one of the South's industrial captains. He lost his life in 1906 in a railway wreck on one of his own lines. Another daughter, Mary, married Reese Crawford, Esq., a bright young lawyer, and a son of Judge Martin J. Crawford, of Columbus, for many years a judge of the Supreme Court of Georgia.

Susan Benning married Thomas Moore, a pioneer in the manufacture of cotton in the South, who built the Princeton factory near Athens, Georgia, and whose son Judge Benning B. Moore, became a Superior Court Judge, and a legislator, who, at different times, represented three different counties: Columbia, Clarke, and Thomas. His son, Daniel Chandler Moore, for a number of times, represented Columbia. Judge Moore married his first cousin, Antonia Lamar, a daughter of Colonel Peter Lamar and Sarah Cobb Benning.

Elizabeth Benning married a Thompson. Her daughter, Julia married a Gartrell. Her daughter, Ann Eliza, married Major William S. Grady, a brilliant Confederate officer, who surrendered his life at Petersburg, Virginia. Major Grady, at one time owned the gas works at Athens, Georgia, and was a man of means. From the marriage of Major Grady to Ann Gartrell, sprang Henry Woodfin Grady, the South's great orator and editor, who made the Atlanta Constitution famous, and who, in the language of the epitaph, inscribed upon his monument, in the heart of Atlanta, "literally died loving a nation into peace."

Sarah Cobb Benning married Colonel Peter Lamar, of Lincoln County, Georgia, a member of the celebrated family of Huguenot origin, long distinguished in Georgia. He was a wealthy planter and a man of affairs, styled the "King of Lincoln."Issue:
Captain Lafayette Lamar, who died in 1861 at Warrenton, Virginia, a man of rare gifts, educated for the bar, and marked for Congress.
Sarah, who married Porter Fleming, the father by a subsequent marriage of Honorable William H. Fleming, member of Congress. Their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth became a Missionary to China and lies buried in the Far East.
Prudence Bertha, who married a Howell.
Antonia, who married her cousin, Judge Benning B. Moore, and who was named for her Benning ancestor, Antoine Benin, son of Francois, the immigrant. One of their children was Daniel Chandler Moore.
Mary Ann Lamar, married Joshua Daniel, a native of Nash County, North Carolina. Mary Ann Daniel possessed the Lamar intellect and was a woman of unusual charm and force of character. There were born to Joshua and Mary Ann Lamar the following issue:
Captain Wilberforce Daniel, a gallant Confederate officer, after the war a cotton merchant, and sheriff of Richmond County, Georgia. He married Mary Winn of Washington, Georgia.
Regina P., who married an Ingles and removed to Mexico, at the close of the Civil War. She died in Mexico, leaving one son.

John Benning Daniel, who died unmarried. He was a private soldier, C.S.A., and became a wholesale druggist and manufacturer, and built up a larage business.
Clara Corrine, who married Captain George Walton Knight, an officer in the Confederate Army, an educator, and a lawyer. Issue: Marie Bertha, who married Thomas R. Hardwick and Lucian Lamar Knight, State Historian and Founder of the Department of Archives for the State of Georegia." ^[S2387]

9W(1)241: Cuthbert m. before 20 Oct 1750-------Randolph, widow of John; Proven by a deed, Prince William Co.
"Cuthbert was probably born between 1710 and 1715. Since he was not named as a helper on his father's tobacco plantation in 1723, he may have been less than ten years old that year. This first known mention of him came in Nov 1738 when he married Frances (Barnes) Osborne, the widow of Thomas Osborne, who had died the previous year. Frances, the daughter of Mathew Barnes, was the sister of Ann Barnes Harrison, the wife of Cuthbert's oldest brother. Both sisters were named in their father's will." [S419] [S26] [4322].

He was a colonel of Militia in Prince William County. Children: Elizabeth, Seth, John, Cuthbert, Frances, Ann, Sarah.
