Bennet Oneale Edmonton

Bennet O’Neale, born February 20, 1784 in Culpeper County, Virginia, the third son of John and Rachel Wood O’Neal.  He married Ann Sally Embrey on August 06, 1807 in Culpeper County, Virginia where they first set up housekeeping.

By 1810, Bennet, Ann, their two young daughters, Rachael and Eliza, along with Bennet’s younger brother, John, had relocated in Adair County Kentucky. 

Whether Bennet moved or the county boundary changed, in 1820 we find he and Ann, along with their growing family, now numbering 7 children, Rachael, Eliza,
Ann, Polly, Carroll, Lucyndia, and Harvey, in Barren County.

Bennet worked as a cabinet maker and managed to provide for his growing family. As a skilled cabinet maker he met and was friends with many in his small community.  He was a teste to the 1824 will of Ballenger Wade of Cumberland County.

His oldest daughter, Rachael, who was born May 28, 1801, married William S. Greer on October 28, 1824 in Barren County.  His second daughter, Eliza, born September 23, 1809, married Henry Huffman, the son of Ambrose and Mary Railsback Huffman, March 11, 1828 in Barren County, and by 1860 they were the parents of 10 children, Mary, James, Sarah, Bennet, Frances, William, Emily, Henry, Robert, and Eliza.

Bennet and Ann had their last child, a daughter Sarah, January 06, 1828, and they, along with their daughters Ann and Polly and sons, Carroll and Harvey were still living in Barren County in 1830.  Shortly thereafter, Ann Sally Embrey died.

Bennet then met and married Mary Jan Waller Vanzant, a widow, in 1831.  From this union, a daughter, Frances Josephine was born about 1838.  By 1840, Bennet had again become a widower as he, Harvey, little Josephine, Sarah, and Ann were living in the household.  His daughter Polly, married Henry Hestand prior to 1840.

As a woodworker and cabinet maker by trade, Bennet’s skills were oft used to fashion caskets for those who had fallen ill and died during the hard winter times.  To also supplement his income for the rearing of his children, Bennet served as the postmaster of the small town of Edmonton during the years of 1843 through 1847.
