Hi Dick,
Do you have the information on Obadiah that is in 'A Genealogy of Aaron Denio' pub in 1926? There is over 3 pages on Obadiah in the 'Unidentified Denios' section. If you do not have it, would be glad to copy and send it to you. There is a lady named Katherine Peters who has been gathering information on her Denio ancestor who is this same Obadiah. Gave her what help I could and she was off and running with some good leads last time we corresponded. Maybe you could collaborate with her on the research. She thinks that Obadiah's Mother was Eunice Sheldon and his Father was Eli (or Ely) Denio. There may have been some scandal involved, because Eli went on to marry someone else a short time after Obadiah was born. There is speculation that Eli ran out on Eunice and Obadiah or that they were never married. Obadiah was told that his father died at a young age of a horse kick to the head. There are several versions. This could be why it has been so hard to piece together the genealogy of Obadiah. Have to go out of this site to try and find Katherine's e-mail for you. If you want to pursue-please contact me at

or

in the meantime, will find Katherine's e-mail address. Need to tell her what is in this Denio book also.
Happy Hunting,
Randy Jones
