Bennett’s three brothers, Edwin (inset), Daniel, and William, emigrated from England the following year. Bennett and Bros. produced yellow ware and Rockingham ware in East Liverpool until 1844, when the firm moved to the Pitts­burgh area. There thrower George Garner, a Staffordshire immigrant, worked for the Bennetts in 1844.
