General Notes: Husband - George Denison

---

After the death of his first wife in 1643, he went to England, where he served under Cromwell in the army of parliament and won distinction. He was wounded
at Naseby and nursed at the house of John Borodell by his daughter Ann, whom he married and brought back to Roxbury, Massachusetts. He finally settled in Stonington, Connecticut, and died at Hartford, Connecticut, while he was there on some special business. He and his wife were noted for their fine looks and strong personalities; she was always called "Lady Ann," and they were both prominent in Stonington. He was a very daring, brave and brilliant soldier, and has been described as "the Miles Standish of the settlement." Captain John Mason was the only one at all equal to him in conducting war against the Indians. In Miss Caulkins' "History of New London" is the following: "Our early history presents no character of bolder and more active spirit than Captain George Denison; he reminds us of the border men of Scotland." He held many important public positions.
