Ruby, I also have a record of Wm and Mary's marriage. But I've never figuired out who her parents were. possiiblities Samuel G. Dennis, Jr b abt 1757 md Mary Yocum 18 Jan 1788. I have no dau of his as Mary. You'd think there would be. So you should check him out some more. Of Sam Jr's sons Sam Y. md Elizebeth Stevens 1808. but the oldest dau was bn 1813 and I have his dau Mary as bn 1820. Jesse 1 bn 1788 to Sarah Highfield. I only have 1 child Hannah bn 1806. This Jesse deserves more attention but he was bn in Mercer Co lived mostly in Woodford Co and died 1841 in Franklin Co. I'd say this willbe your best lead. I have done very little research on this Jesse. his next son would be Mathias bn 1798 too young. btw John Lawson bn 1832 md Mary Dennis 28 JUN 1855 and Zachary Dennis md Julia Lawson 30 dec 1876 -----Original Message----- From: Ruby Elrod <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, December 08, 1998 6:23 PM Subject: Mary Dennis and William Lawson >William Lawson, s/o Travis and Martha "Maysie" Simpkins married Mary Dennis >on Dec 17, 1824 in Morgan Co., Ky.
