As Mennonites he and his brother, Johann Sebastian Benner, appeared in 1759 in a Philadelphia court to affirm their allegiance to the crown of England. Mennonites did not believe in swearing an oath but were willing to affirm their oath.

Information from 2011 publication by Huldah M. Petersheim - Descendants of Testen Swartz Benner and His Two Wives - Susannah Graybill Winey and Sarah Snyder Ramer: 1823-2011.
If Johannes Benner is the brother of Sebastian Benner, then he is not the son of Esejas Bender. Sebastian Benner is the son of Johann Arent & Anna Catharine (Althaus) Benner, and immigrated with other Bucks/Montgomery settlers in 1738, not 1743.
