While I personally don't agree with what was done with his monument, I understand the sentiments behind wanting to preserve it. Should the Society go defunct, there is certainly a risk that someone will cart it off. <br /><br />I have a considerable amount of information from original UK archives documents, relating to the family and ancestry of Bridget Thompson Denison. This line, being my matrilineage, has been of keen interest to me.<br /><br />I will be most happy to share what I've learned.<br /><br />Best,<br />Kevin Bradford<br />Email: kevin.bradford@rocketmai.comKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517047979325639047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-5450823135330454722009-11-15T14:32:17.144-05:002009-11-15T14:32:17.144-05:00Hello, Denison cousin.

I know his stone is in Hartford and another descendant did share it with me.<br /><br />I think the original stone is in the shed at the Denison Society. I took a photo. Email me if you want to see it.Midge Frazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817669854967092840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-56927355968231786372009-11-15T14:26:50.877-05:002009-11-15T14:26:50.877-05:00I presume you are aware that Capt. George Denison ...I presume you are aware that Capt. George Denison is only memorialized on the Denison monument in Mystic His bones rest in the Old Center Cemetery, Hartford. George's stone there appears to be a faithful reproduction of the original fieldstone. I would be happy to send a copy.<br /><br />George's 1st wife, Bridget's, death is recorded in the Roxbury, Massachusetts Church records, kept by Rev. John Eliot: <br />"1643, 6 mo, ---- day, Bridget Denison, the wife of George Denison and a godly young woman, died of a feaver and consumption." [Roxbury Land and Church Records. First Church, John Eliot, Boston First Church in Roxbury (Roxbury, Mass,, First Church. Publisher Rockwell and Churchill, City Printers, 1881].<br /><br />Bridget Thompson Denison is my matrilineal ancestress; her daughter, Hannah Denison Cheseborough Saxton (d. 1722, Stonington), is my 9th gr-grandmother.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517047979325639047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-47807657651732712732009-08-10T14:08:23.500-04:002009-08-10T14:08:23.500-04:00Thanks for posting this Denison information, Midge...Thanks for posting this Denison information, Midge!

It is so petite that I had to lie on my tummy to take a good shot of it.Midge Frazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817669854967092840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29307953.post-48514006461748871492009-07-25T14:36:10.421-04:002009-07-25T14:36:10.421-04:00Thank you for posting this information.

I checked out your photos on Flickr, and have a question about this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/midgefrazel/3752579228/. Was this rubbing from the grave of Ann, wife of George DENISON? Was the rubbing made in 2005 or at an earlier date? Thanks again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078599157172470373noreply@blogger.com
