General Notes: Husband - Charles Denniston

---

The Dennison (or Denniston) family in Duanesburg, Schenectady County, New York, was one of the first families to settle there.

The immigrant ancestor of this family, he came to America with three brothers, from Ireland. Though there is no proof, some claim that they were of Scotch-Irish descent. One of the brothers was named Jacob.
Charles was a stone mason. He is described as being fair with red cheeks. About 1773 he settled on a farm near Mariaville, Schenectady County, New York, and this was still occupied by his descendants almost a century and a half later, being then owned by George L. Dennison. A portion of the old house was still standing; this house was built by Charles about 1800. He and his wife are said to be buried in the family cemetery on the homestead.

Charles Denniston served in the revolution as a private of Captain James Humphrey's company, Colonel James McClaughry's regiment of New York militia. His name is on the pay roll of the company dated April 12, 1790, showing that he served ten days at Fort West Point, and at Forest of Dean from June 1 to 10, 1779. The records tell of how he once drove the Indians from Schenectady with a hoop pole from a cooper's shop. The Indians, who were murdering women and children, supposed that a large force of men were after them and fled before his attack.
