General Notes: Husband - Thomas Denniston


He always lived on the home farm, where for many years he was extensively engaged in general farming and stock raising. After the death of his father, he and his brother William bought out the other heirs, and operated the farm together. The land was originally granted to Capt. Gabriel Cox of the English army, who erected an outpost for protection from the Indians, known as Cox Station. Many land grants were signed there. Capt. Cox subsequently sold the land to Richard James, who divided it between his sons, Robert and William, the latter of whom sold his interest to the father of Thomas Denniston.

In association with his brother William, he owned a farm of 225 acres in Union Township and a second farm of 125 acres in Peters Township and resided on the Union Township property.
