General Notes: Husband - William Denny

---

Different sources give widely different information about the early generations of this family.

The Denny family are descendants of an early emigrant from the north of Ireland who located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in the first quarter of the eighteenth century, but soon after became a pioneer in the settlement farther west.

In 1745 he and his wife came to Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, from Chester County, with three children. He settled on a large tract of land in South Middleton township, about two miles south of Carlisle, where he later died.
