Sources:Most of the material on this page has come from Cousin Joni Fortier (my 5th cousin once removed) who just checked in this month--January 2007! What a great way to start the new year! There's much material here, and I decided to start a whole new page for it. Welcome, Joni, and thank you for sending all these goodies and giving your permission to post them here. Readers may contact her by emailing me, and I'll forward your mail to her.John M. Gwin -- jmcdgwinatzianetdotcom
A secondary source is Joni's own excellent page, located at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~joni4ta/, from which we have taken and cropped these several photos, including the one of herself and her parents. Thanks again, Cousin!

BIOGRAPHY: From Page 400; Biographical sketches; History of Howard and Tipton Counties, 1883: John M. Denton, son of David and Emeline Denton, was born in North Carolina [John M. Gwin Note: I don't think this is our John M. Denton! Crawford Co., IN, is where he himself claimed in the 1850 census as his POB. Indeed, there are two John M. Dentons in the 1880 census of Indiana, and this bio aligns perfectly with one but not the other. This biographer seems to have listed the parents of "our" John M. as the parents of the "other" John M.!] March 21, 1847. He is of English-German descent, and is a nephew of the celebrated Geologist, William Denton of Philadelphia. [Joni Fortier Note: I believe this to be completely untrue as far as having this "Uncle William", as there is just no way possible, geographically or otherwise--for my gg-grandfather to have been related to William Denton the Geologist, b. in 1823 in England!] When he was 3 years of age his parents moved to Washington Co., IN, settled on a farm of 80 acres, and there died. At the age of 10, he removed to Orange County and there he attended what school he could during the winter and worked at farming during the summer. In 1862, he came to Howard County and worked for Oliver Moulder until his enlistment, in 1864, in the Indiana Volunteer Infantry, serving under Gen. Thomas. For 12 months he served faithfully, and was mustered out at Louisville, KY. Since his return he has been chiefly engaged in the saw and planing mill business. In 1870, he married Miss Martha Stratton, who died in 1879, the mother of two boys and two girls. Mr. Denton is a Mason, an Odd Fellow, a member of the G.A.R., and of the Friends' Society.

This
has to be our 4.05--William and Matilda Jones Denton,

clearly he was NOT b. in Missouri, however, so this must be an error on
the part of the enumerator. |

Interesting:
she was b. in Crawford Co. and therefore probably was married there;
their first five kids were b. in Orange Co., then they moved back to
Crawford 5-7 years ago and had their last three. Did they follow
Grandpa Isom and Grandma Mary to Orange Co., then she grew homesick? |
