reading these post is dejavu of names from my childhood and I am trying to figure out how they all fit together.
Marshall Dennison is by great-great grandfather. Marshall and Mary Jane Vanderville had somewhere between 10 and 12 children.
Did they move his grave or is his body under the Percy Priest Lake?
Does anyone know anything about daughter Josephine Dennison (married to Jimmy Hunter according to the Wilson County posting of graves recorded in the Percy Priest Lake list).
She is not included in a census list.
I am from the lineage of their son Joseph Dennison (B 1848) who from census records had 2 wives... first one listed as Tovie I know nothing about.the second one Victoria Cozart I have stories of and even a photo. They had a son named Dudley Cozart Dennison... was known as DC Dennison.DC married Nannie May Adams.Her Sister Ida married James Jackson ( I have their wedding photo as well as their 50 th anniversary news article), Ida and Nannie May's mother was Elizabeth Carter Adams.(b 1851 M.1871 to William H Adams b. 1846) They had 10 children.
Ida Adams Jackson had 6 children with James P Jackson (Archie, Mabel, Ethel, Buford, Gertrude and Rubie)
The Eubanks,the Hunters, the Sheltons, the Carters and the Peals all seemed to be living on the same road as the Dennisons in the 1870 and 1880 census and I've been trying to match them up.I have met "cousins" that I cannot place in my family tree. As a child we would go to Tennessee each summer and make the rounds of visiting the aunts, uncles and cousins. My question - Were they cousins, neighbors or both?
(Dudley C Dennison and N. May (adams) Dennsion are buried in Spring Hill Cemetery on Gallatin Road in Nashville.
