Boyers Athens Tenn DENNIS FAMILY "There is another branch of the Dennis family who were in Cocke Co very early. They were related to Joel Dennis. They were: Owen Corn Dennis who died in Polk Co., Tenn in 1870, John Dennis b 1816 d 1904, Carey Dennis who had a wife Margaret, and probably others. Who are supposed to be the children of JOSEPH DENNIS B 1775 D 1851 AND HIS WIFE MARY B 1776 D 1853, WHO ARE BOTH BURIED IN THE HARTSELL CEMETERY IN COCKE CO." "John Dennis, born about 1755-65, probably in Lunenberg Co., Va. D 1827 in Mc Minn County Tenn; married Ann Creighton, daughter of Hugh Creighton and Mary Adkins. Hugh Creighton moved from Lunenberg Co Va., to Newberry Co., S.C. where his Will was probated 21 Oct 1794, naming two daughters, Ann Dennis and Mary Ward. and some of his grandchildren. Mary Adkins was the daughter of John Adkins of Lunenberg Co Va. whose Will was probated 10 March 1763. There were two John Adkins in Lunenberg Co. at the same time. Therefore the records must be carefully read."
