DeRobigne Bennett was born on December 23, 1818, on a farm on the east shore of Otsego Lake in New York.
As a boy of fourteen, while returning from a visit to an uncle in the Berkshires, Bennett fell in with two members of the Shaker society at New Lebanon, New York, and after enjoying their kindness and good victuals for almost two weeks confessed such sins as he had on hand, was received into the sect, and wrote to his Methodist mother and sister to come and join him. At New Lebanon he worked in the seed gardens, learned the primitive pharmacy of roots, barks, and herbs, and rose to be the physician of the community; but on September 12, 1846, together with his sister and several others, he left the Shakers. For the next twenty-seven years he lived in various places, usually as nurseryman, druggist, or both, prospering at times but in the end coming invariably to grief. In Cincinnati, for several years, he made as much as $10, 000 annually as purveyor of "Dr. Bennett's Quick Cure, Golden Liniment, Worm Lozenges, and Root and Plant Pills. "
Meanwhile Bennett had absorbed Paine's Age of Reason, had been converted to freethinking, and was nursing an ambition to write. Finally, at Paris, Illinois, on September 1, 1873, he launched his periodical, the Truthseeker, sending 12, 000 copies broadcast over the country. In December he moved to New York, taking his new enterprise with him. The Truthseeker, devoted to a kind of inverted Fundamentalism, was written in a plebeian style, copious and clear, never elegant, and not always correct. At first it led a hand-to-mouth existence, but ultimately as the organ of village infidels scattered far and wide it enjoyed a mild efflorescence. Bennett thriftily republished much of the contents of the paper in the form of tracts and books and also dealt in freethinking and liberal publications of all kinds.
At best Bennett’s propaganda would have been galling to the orthodox, but the jocose indecorum and irony that he permitted himself in discussing the delinquencies of clergymen and the less edifying portions of the Biblical narrative proved unbearable, and Anthony Comstock undertook to dispose of him. The first two attempts failed, the cases not even coming to trial, but on June 5, 1879, before a judge friendly to Comstock, Bennett was convicted of sending indecent matter through the mails and was sentenced to serve thirteen months in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $300. All efforts to get him off, including a petition to President Hayes, were unavailing, and Bennett, now over sixty years old, was sent to prison. On his release, April 29, 1880, his friends gave him a reception in New York and sent him to Brussels as a delegate to a congress of freethinkers, but his health had been undermined. On July 30, 1881, he started from New York on a trip around the world and reached home on that day a year later. On December 6, after a short illness, he died.
