I have some conflicting info. The Monroe County Cemetery book says that Joseph Denney, son of Thomas Denney and Mary Hattabaugh married Sarah Elliott. The Obituary book, quoting the "History of Washington County" says that Joseph Denny, son of Robert Denny and Rachel Thomas marries Sarah Elliott. I would appreciate some clarification. thanx Herb Arkin 68,000 Descendants and relatives of Richard Wright, Sr. of Rowan County, North Carolina who emigrated to Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri.

I see that I have duplicate notes on 2 of the children of Joseph, & am not sure which is correct. My only interest in this line was as it connected to the Boling lines of Washington County.
