"ABRAHAM BENNET, CURATE OF WIRKSWORTH

Born in 1749, the son of Abraham Bennet, schoolmaster of Whaley Lane, Cheshire, and his wife, Ann Fallowes of Cheadle, Abraham Bennet was baptised at Taxal, Derbyshire, on 20 December. He was probably the eldest son, but had at least one brother, named William. 2 Abraham married and his widow, Jane, was to survive him for 27 years, dying at Mappleton in July 1826. 3 They had six daughters and two sons" The references are D.C.
