General Notes: Husband - Daniel Denison, Jr.


He was born in New London, Connecticut, and lived there until 1771, when he moved to New York state, where he settled in Stephentown, Rensselaer County, east of Albany, New York, and became one of the prominent men of the place. He held several offices. By an act of the legislature he was appointed one of three commissioners to adjust disputes of boundaries between settlers. He kept a memorandum book (which was still in the possession of the family into the twentieth century) from which the following was taken: "June 1771, I moved into this county from New London, and brought with me nine children."
He and his wife were buried in the family burying ground in Berlin, New York. The homestead remained in the family for about ninety years.
