General Notes: Husband - Walter Denny

---

With his brother William, he came to Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, from Chester County in 1745. He settled two or three miles south of Carlisle, where he owned a large tract of land, afterward divided into several farms. He raised a company for the Revolutionary struggle and was killed at the battle of Crooked Billet.

As the eldest son, by the will of his father, according to the custom of the day, he inherited the home place, one half at the decease of his father, the other half at the decease of his mother. He commanded a company, and was killed at the battle of Crooked Billet, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in May, 1778, and his eldest son, Walter, was captured at the same time, and kept for three months on a Jersey prison-ship. His wife received a pension from the State of Pennsylvania, through the commissioners of Cumberland County.
