The family of Christian Bennett resided and buried its dead just over the Spafford line, in the town of Tully, in the locality commonly called "Bennett Hollow," yet on account of its close business and social relations with the people of this town the following is offered :
Christian Bennett the elder, (called by himself Chris- John Bonats), was born at Frankfort on the Rhine, and was a soldier under Napoleon the First in the French Revolution. After his discharge from the French Army he first settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and from there emigrated to the town of Tully among the first settlers. He died in Bennett Hollow, and was buried there by the side of his wife, Hannah Fralick. He had three children registered in the family Bible, as Peter Bonats, Gershom Bonats, and Christian Bonats.
Christian Bonats, Jr., born in Germantown, Pa., August 14, 1781, married January 8, 1812, Elizabeth Adare. He came to Tully at an early date, and in 1816 purchased his large farm of 155 acres in Bennett Hollow, where he re- mained until the time of his decease, September 25, 1866. He was trustee of School District No. 8 (a joint district for the towns of Spafford, Tully and Preble) from 1852 to 1857 inclusive.

BERRY.
Jonathan Berry. Born March 17, 1771, died August 13, 1849.
Jonathan Berry came from Cambridge, Washington Co., N. Y., and settled on Lot 12, Sempronius, in March, 1803. He remained there until March 3, 1810, when he purchased the States Hundred Acres on Lot 89, Marcellus, of Daniel Tinkham. Soon after he took up his residence near where Jeremiah Olmstead now resides on this purchase, and re- mained there until the time of his decease. Mr. Berry was a leading business man, and without question dealt more extensively in real estate in his adopted town than any of his fellow townspeople. Among other transactions he pur- chased nearly all of lots 10 and 12, Sempronius, and sold out in parcels to suit his purchasers, who cleared and settled upon the lands. His real estate transactions, however, were not confined to the vicinity of his residence, but extended to all parts of the town, without reference to his individual uses and purposes. The public records indicate that he had a natural born taste for speculation in real estate, which to a certain extent met with success, for at his decease he left a very valuable property of this kind, to be distributed among the members of his family. By his wife Thankful he had the following children: Joseph R., married Sarah Kneeland, daughter of Asa and Hannah (Green) Kneeland,
