Is there an Ettie Bennitt in your branches?? I can't find a birth place for sure for her and I do know that in 1890 she was around Tiffen Ohio for at least the Christmas Season, as I have seen a book with her name on the first page with the Union Bethel Church giving the book to her on Christmas Evening 1890. I hope you find your far scattered Bennitts as I have had no luck with Ettie. One time I though I found her married to a J R Cannon but can't get anything further on her... children or burial so I'm up against that brick wall, so to speak.
