William, the pioneer, was the son of John, who with his brother Robert came from Glasgow, Scotland. Robert went to South Carolina, and has decendants in the South. John settled at Woodstock, Va., after living awhile in Pennsylvania. He was a cattle dealer, an occupation that is quite hereditary in his descendants, and he never returned his last trip to Baltimore with a drove of stock, the supposition being that as he lived when cash was used instead of bank checks he met with foul play. William, left a child, became a drummer in the war of 1812. He was a man of scholarship and owned the best library in this county. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1829. The Anderson homestead two miles south of Ft. Seybert, is of the best farms on the South Fork. Charles P. lives on portion of it. In general, the later Andersons have closely identified with the county seat.
David C. was graduated from Washington College in 1843 and took a post graduate course at the University of Virginia. He was the most highly educated man who was in Pendleton. He won high honors at both institutions for his high scholarship and his superior linguistic ability. Five languages in addition to an exceptional mastery of his mother tongue were at his control. He read the New the original and was fond of reading discussions in the higher mathmatics in French. He possessed a graceful and elegant literary style, both in prose and poetry. After the completion of his studies at the University he was called to the chair of modern languages at Franklin and Marshall College, Gettysburg, Penn., and filled it very satisfactorily for several years. Prior to the war of 1861 he returned to Franklin, and during that conflict he was superintendent for the Confederacy of extensive woolen manufactures in the Valley of Virginia. During that service he contracted acute rheumatism and from its effects he remained a helpless invalid for 23 years. While thus so sadly disabled he gave private instruction in classical studies. It is said that only his modesty stood in the way of 'the publication by him of writings that would have given him high rank as a literateur. He was known to his circle of friends for his patience under suffering, the moral purity of his life, and his devotion to the church of his choice, the Presbyterian.
Franklin is Cashier of the Bank of Franklin and has large in cattle. Herbert, clerk in the same bank, took degree of B.A. from the Washington and Lee University in 1907. William B. is a large landholder and is heavily in the cattle business.

As will be seen the original Bennett connection was quite large, but drifted westward with the exception of two branches. Those marked "unp." appear to be of the children of Robert. James and Henry. An interesting sketch of the emigrated Bennetts will be found in Part III. The first Joseph appears to have been the immigrant from Britain, and there is a tradition that he reached Virginia by way of New Jersey. The present numerous connection in this county is chiefly in C. D., especially around the first settlement at Big Run.

Calhoun. This family came from the north of Ireland in1733 and soon thereafter moved to Augusta, where in 1750 ,was captain of a troop of horse. William is mentioned in 1752. In the same year Patrick was living on New River. He went on to South Carolina, and John C. Calhoun, famous statesman, was his son. The Calhouns of Pendelton are believed to spring from William.

The Pioneer Champ is stated to be identical with the Sergeant John Champe, the American soldier who came very near kidnapping Benedict Arnold and returning him to the American lines. Washington was very desirous of capturing the traitor and to this end Champe volunteered to enter the camp of the enemy. As a pretended deserter he enlisted in the British army, and when his plans were all but perfected to capture Arnold the command to which he was attached was sent on service at another point. There being no further occasion to remain Champe took the first opportunity to effect his return. Since he would have been shot if taken by the British, Washington sent him to Hampshire county, where he would be quite safe from the enemy. In this region he remained. He was promised a grant of land but never received it and died in poverty. His two sons, both minors, were bound to Henry Hoover to learn the trade of tanning. Cyrus and his sons are the only male members of the connection remaining here.

Roger, the pioneer, was a large and prosperous landowner in Hardy and Pendleton. By his will, drawn Feb. 24, 1757, he left James his homestead of 620 acres. To Hannah Keister he bequeathed 427 acres in Hardy; to his grandson Roger, 20 pounds ($66.67); to h~s wife and executor, dower interest; to his five sons and daughters, his personal effects. The testators to his will were William Miller, Adam Hider, and Wilham Gibson. William was also a substantial citizen. He owned a servant, probably a negro, and had 9 horses and colts. The murder of Roger and William and the captivity of James and Sarah are elsewhere spoken of. The original homesteads remain in the family or connection, and the Dyers have continued to be among the more wealthy of the Pendleton farmers. Zebulon, son of James, lived near Upper Tract, and a few years after the organization of the county he became its clerk. The office passed from him to Andrew W. and Edmund W., remaining in the Dyer family more than 50 years. The Dyer connection has been quite prominent in Pendleton, both in its own personnel and in its intermarriages.
