I. Introduction

For over fifty years, Will Hall and Janna Larson have been collecting information on Bennington, Benington, and Binnington families in the United States. Will Hall published the first Bennington Genealogy in the 1940's. Janna Larson indexed, compiled and published Will Hall's second edition in 1991. Collection of materials is ongoing for a third edition. Janna currently has information on over 12,000 individuals in her Bennington family database. She will be glad to check her files and share information with you.

II. Early History of the Family

The surname Bennington, and its variations, Benington and Binnington, derive from the English place name Bennington which is the name of two villages in Lincolnshire, England. The earliest reference to Bennington is in the Domesday Book (1086 A.D.): "In Benictun had Radult 14 carucates of land..."

Most of the Benningtons in the United States today go back to the family of Henry and Sarah (Harris) Bennington. They lived in the early 1700's in what is now Harford County, Maryland. There are records of various Bennington immigrants coming to Virginia, Georgia, Massachusetts and elsewhere in America in the seventeenth century. It has not been established that any of them is the ancestor of Henry Bennington. New sources are surfacing all the time, however. Please let us know if you run across any. Every little piece helps complete the picture.

There are many Bennington, Benington, and Binnington families which immigrated later in America's history. We are following all these lines. Many of them came from known villages in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Norfolk, England.

For more information on Early Benningtons and the Origin of the Bennington Surname, please refer to Volume I, Number 1 of the "Bennington Bulletin."

This genealogy suppositions that Martha and Thomas are brother/sister and since Martha Barton is his mother, his father dying early, and they move d together that they are related. p. 299

"The mother of Thomas Bennington was also named Martha and later she married Thomas Barton. It also seems likely that she was the Martha Barton whose estate was settled in 1806 in Butler County, Ohio (see page 249). Archibald Mahan was the administrator of the estate. Brown, Clermont and Butler Counties, Ohio, are all close together." p. 299
