I am looking for any information and relatives of my g-g-g grandfather
JOHN S. DENNIS.
John was born abt 1805, I think in Maryland. He was married but I do not
know his wife's name.
John had four living children:
1.ADOLPHUS GUSTAVUS DENNIS b. 1829 in Maryland d. in Memphis,Tenn
10/20/1888
( He married ELIZABETH Eelanor MINTER in Hardeman County , Tenn.
4/20/1849)
( my g-g-grandparents.)
2.CAROLINE JULIA DENNIS b. Sept. 15, 1831 in Baltimore, Maryland
( She married REV. JOHN B. CANADA and lived in Collierville, Tenn.)
3. A. FRANKLIN DENNIS b. ? in Tenn.
4. LAURA DENNIS b. ? TENN ( She married the brother to JB Canada -
WILKES CANADA)
John S. Dennis lived in GERMANTOWN. TENN IN 1850 and in 1860 FAYETTE
COUNTY.
He was a merchant and owned stores at one time in SNOWHILL MARYLAND,
BALTIMORE and MEMPHIS, TENN.
I do not know if the land had come from him but my g-grandmother had
owned the
farm which is now FOREST HILL CEMETERY in Memphis , Tenn.
Can any one tell me if there are more relatives and the parents or wife
of my JOHN S. DENNIS.? Any thing would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you for your time,
Elizabeth
