I was just looking through a "Virginia in 1760-A Renstructed Census" and came across just a handful of Dentons but the Thomas in Hanover Co hit me because the John Denton that died in Rutherford Co, NC before June 1850 had come to NC from Hanover Co, VA Any chance this Thomas is John's father? and / or the Thomas that was in Rutherford Co, NC briefly while John was there? Could this have been the Thomas who last showed in the Burke Co, NC census iin 1830 as 90 to 100 years old? Thomas was the only Denton in this book in Hanover Co, VA the source given in the book was "Goochland Co, VA Deed Book 8 1759-1765. LVA reel 3 pages 72 and 111. The Goochland county rang a bell to me as having seen a record on the LDS site IGI for John Faires Denton b. Oct 1, 1771 to Thomas Denton and Mary Faires and a John Denton having married a Susan Thacker there in Goochland Co,VA on Jan 4, 1773. Unsure as to how they connect?? The other Dentons in the 1760 index were Abrahm, Benjamin, and John in Frederick Co, VA (references Frederick Co, VA Orders Books 8 and 9, LVA reel 69) and Joseph Denton in Sussex Co reference was to Sussex Co Will Book A page 182---boy I'd love to see that will!!! Can anyone out there help me put any of these guys together with their descendants? Hoping to find connections to my Joseph Denton who died in Burke Co, NC sometime before 1830. Audrey Orlando, FL
