Jacob was listed as Della's father in the 1920 census. There were a few Denny's in Pike Co KY who I know married into the Kinney/Newsome/Johnson families. I also have in my database a Thomas Pinson who married Mary Denny of Grayson Co VA before 1800. Their children and grandchildren married Pike Co KY people. Maybe Jacob is a descendant of those Denny's somehow. ________________________________________________________________________ KY Vitals Deaths: Jacob Denny, died 04-22-1927 in Pike Co KY, age 69 at death, Vol. 48, Cert. 23985 1920 Jackson Co OH Census (Franklin, Dist. 71, Pg. 3-A) Jacob Denny 65 Head OH OH OH (b. abt 1855) Elizabeth Denny 48 Wife OH OH OH Della Williams 26 Dau.

Their daughter Sena M. listed in the 1900 census looks to be about the right age to be your Dellsena (Dellsena died in 1926 at age 33 = b abt 1893), and the added coincidence of her mother being named Della S. makes it a possibility, though it's always dangerous to assume, and this couple may have nothing to do with the family you're searching for: 1920 Trimble Co OH Census (Dist. 23, Athens, Pg. 6-A) Samuel Williams 49 Head WV OH PA Della S.
