(Notes and Queries, Third Series, Volume I, XII, page 68)

  Egle also notes Bennetts' nickname: "King Bennett," and cites his Underground Railroad activities, saying he "was one of the principal directors and concealers of the fugitive slave on his way to the Northland from the taskmaster's fields in Maryland and Virginia." (Notes and Queries, Annual Volume 1900, XII, page 63)
