Hi The name Denning caught my eye. My great grandmother Rachel Jane Crume married a John Denning and had 3 sons. They lived in CA. and then went to Illinois and lived and died in Vandalia. In your research, have you found anything about any of these Dennings? If so, I would love to hear from you. My gr. grandmother later md. Matthew Sweetland in Ca. before going to Illinois. But, I don't know what happened to Mr. Denning. Thanks! Taftwanda@aol.com
