State,to settle near his brother Jacob in Bertie Township. By now the Bend er name seems to have reverted to Benner as it had been centuries earlier. As well, the german form of the first names had gradually given way to the english version. During the y ears 1807 & 1808 John Benner bought property in lots 24 in concessions 2 & 3 from Lak e Erie in Bertie Twp . There was set asid e a family bury ing ground on this property ,now k nown as the Benner Cemetery,located on Nigh Road, between Gorham Road and Ridge Road ,on the outskirts of Rid geway ,Ont. Unfortunately this cemetery suffered a great deal of vandalism over the y ears and few stones are left. There is no stone for J ohn or his wife but there is a badly brok en one for his son Jacob and for his wife Christiana.The stone for his brother Jacob and his wife is still quite legible, as well as those for the latter0s two sons,Jacob and Philip and spouses. & 25 The names and baptismal d ates below as supplied by Evely n L.Elliott 17 Gablewood Cres.,Lond on,Ont.
