Evylene and Jim, Saw Jim's comments on Evylene's email, subject above, about which I have a direct interest. My DENTON line includes Jonas DENTON who my records show married two Janes, one of whom could be Jane SEAMAN. or a Hannah and a Jane. Three versions are shown below. My records-- Jonas Denton, born about 1677, lived at Hempstead, N.Y., appears to be single in 1698 Census (listed with parents) bu married about that time or before to Jane Seaman, born about 1679, the daughter of Jonathan Seaman. Version #1 4. Jonas DENTON, b. 1677 Hempstead, NY m1. 1695 Jane SEAMAN ch-Mary Richard Samuel John Benjamin James m2. 1711 Jane HARDENBROCK ch- [a repeat of m1 except for Mary, Elizabeth and Richard] Samuel-r Elizabeth JOHN. b. 1713-r Benjamin-r James-r (-r = repeat from 1st marriage) Version #2 Jane SEAMAN and Jonas DENTON had the following children: +12 i. Mary DENTON. +13 ii. Robert DENTON. +14 iii. Samuel DENTON. 15 iv. John DENTON was born in 1700. +16 v. Joseph DENTON. +17 vi. William DENTON. Version #3 Jonas DENTON m1 bef 1820 Hannah ______ Children: John, Jr., b. 1713 Mary , Benjamin, abt 1717 Robert, Jonathan, James, Hannah, Samuel, Comment- Yes, it is a combination of records. Unfortunately the notes are not there on the web site with this record to indicate such. There is a lot of controversy among Denton researchers about whether there was one Jonas or two. Many believe there was one Jonas with two wives (Jane Seaman and Jane Hardenbrock). Some early researchers did not have Jane Hardenbrock at all! The notes indicate that this record is here for reference until descendants of this line come to a conclusion. Because Jonas/Jonah was a common name in the DENTON family, there is a possibility that we are discussing two different Jonas/Jonahs. My problem is that Jonas had a son, John who m. Sarah O'Dell, , but I am unable to determine by which wife. Further, whether the wife was Jane SEAMAN or not This is muddy water, but I hope that it focuses on the problem. Best regards, Hugh
