This is the story of Edward Bennett, pioneer of Lanark Township, Lanark County, Ontario, his wives, Julia Kenny and Ann Graham, and their descendants.

The Bennetts came to Canada in 1819/1820. At the time of the Bennetts' arrival the land was thickly forested. There were very few people in the townships of Lanark and Ramsay; in a short time they would be joined by government-sponsored groups: the Lanark Society Settlers of 1820 and 1821 and the Peter Robinson Settlers of 1823.

Edward Bennett drew land in Ramsay Township but moved to Lanark Township in 1822 to a lot adjoining that of his brother-in-law, James Kenny. This book is the result of 40 years of genealogical research by recognized local historian, genealogist and prolific author Carol Bennett-McCuaig. Everyone with a connection to this family or an interest in the settlement of Lanark County will find this book helpful.
