While definite dates are offered my each for the births of Allen and Isom, no claim or evidence is offered by either for Jane. Seeing the four-year gap between Allen and Isom, however, tends to make me think that she is more likely to fit between them, so I side with Jim on this one.]

From 5th Cousin Jim Wall: John, I am
providing you a copy of the DEATH RETURN of Allen Denton,
age 79, filed 22 Dec 1883. It indicates that his father was David
Denton
and that his mother was a Gwin. It
also indicates that Allen was
born in
Tennessee.
The 1860 Census showed Allen Denton, age 56 years, birthplace E. [East] Tennessee, living in Stampers Creek Township, Orange County, Indiana. The DEATH RETURN indicated the father's and mother's birthplace was unknown. However, the 1850 Census for Southeast Township, Orange County, Indiana shows that David Denton, age 72 [born ca. 1778], was born in Virginia; his wife Elizabeth [Gwin] Denton, age 63 [born ca. 1787] was born in Tennessee. Since Tennessee was not established until 1796, I guess she was born in North Carolina, in that part which became Tennessee. [John M. Gwin Note: I agree--and most likely, in my opinion on the 249-acre family farm in western Sevier Co. where most of the rest of the kids were born.] David and Elizabeth Denton, Allen's parents, lived in Dwelling House number 35. Living in dwelling number 33 was Manervy Right [Wright], age 39 years, born in Tennessee. Was she the widow of Elijah Wright? I believe that she could have been one of the last children of Isom and Mary Canterberry Gwin. Her Right children were: Ruth, 21 (I believe she married a Childress. JTW); Susan, 19; Benjamin, 14; Leander, 10; and Elijah, 5. (I recall seeing these names in the settlement of Isom Gwin's estate in 1855. JTW) Also living in the
house was Mary Gwyn, 80, born
in Virginia, who could
not read or write, and was blind. Was this lady the widow of my
ancestor
(4ggf) Isom Gwin/Isham Guinn? I must note that there is a marriage
between
an Isom Gwin and a Mary Likens recorded 20 Oct 1819 in Crawford County,
Indiana--
is this Isom Gwin, Senior or Junior? [John
M. Gwin Note: Junior.] When Allen's brother Isom Denton married Elizabeth Lincoln in Harrison County, Indiana, Allen gave the consent of his father David Denton and the consent of Josiah Lincoln, Elizabeth's father, on 17 July 1826. The papers of Lucien Williams were filed in the Filson Club in Louisville, Kentucky, after his death around 1952. Mr. Williams was preparing a genealogical book on the Weathers (and other) family, but died before he could complete it. He mentioned in the notes that Benjamin Weathers' second wife was Virginia Jane Tipton, whose father Isham? Gwynn was a Baptist preacher, and her mother was a Canterbury. He did not indicate the source of his information. |

[JMG NOTE: Almost assuredly Isham Jr., who was probably also the husband of Betsy Snowden] On 19 Jun 1880, the U.S. Census of Blue River Township, Harrison Co., IN, recorded on p. 26, l. 15, an Allen Denton, age 75, living in residence 201 with his wife, Clarisa, age 57, daughters Sarah, 29, and Debora A., 20, son Joel H.

Living next door in residence 202 was William Denton, 29, his wife Mary, 25, daughters Ada, 10, and Mary, 6, and son Walter, 4; we believe this to be a son of either Allen or Isom. Living in residence 203 was the family of Allen's brother Isom Denton, 72, his wife Elizabeth, 62 daughters Hanna E., 20-something, Rachel, 23, and Mary A., 16, granddaughter Dora, 10, and grandson Benjamin Trobridge, 4.

1._--Capt. A. Lincoln (m. Anna Barbara Moyer?) This is interesting to me!
The first
wife of my second great-grandfather, Isom Denton, was Elizabeth
Lincoln, daughter of Josiah Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln's
uncle)
and Catherine Barlow.
Isom was the son of David Denton and Elizabeth Gwin. Also, Sarah Weathers married Thomas Lincoln, son of Josiah and Catherine. She was the daughter of my third great-grandparents, Benjamin Weathers and Glathy Bullington. When Benjamin died in 1881, nine Lincoln grandchildren shared in his estate (his daughter Sarah Weathers Lincoln Sipes had died by then). I have sort of lost the thread. Is there a relationship between the above-mentioned Anna Barbara Moyer and my ancestor Anna Barbara Weaver/Weber whose husband was Johan Georg Klaar/George Clore? Jim Wall]
On
10 Aug 1850,
the U.S. Census of District 43, Harrison Co., IN, recorded on p. 400,
residence
234, an Isom Denton, age
42, and his wife, Elizabeth,
31; with a "student farmer" Joseph, 20 [JMG
Note: I can't tell if Joseph is their son or some relative. If
he's
a son, then either Elizabeth's age must be wrong or Joseph must have
been
born to Isom's first wife and Elizabeth is the second wife. Her age is
probably right, however, as she is still ten years younger than Isom in
1880.]; and
children John, 13; David, 11; twins
James and Wilford, 9; and twins Washington and Thomas, 7.
On
7 Jun 1860,
the U.S. Census of Milltown (P.O.), Blue River Township, Harrison Co.,
IN, recorded on p. 4, residence 72, an Isom
Denton, age 52, and his wife, Elizabeth,
43; with children Wilford, 18; Thomas, 15; William, 10; Hannah E., 8;
Sarah
E., 6; and Rachel, 4; On 19 Jun 1880, the U.S. Census of Blue River Township, Harrison Co., IN, recorded on p. 26, l. 15, an Allen Denton, age 75, living in residence 201 with his wife, Clarisa, age 57, daughters Sarah, 29, and Debora A., 20, son Joel H. (or F.), 24, and grandson Wesley L., 1. Living
next door in residence 202 was William
Denton, 29, his wife Mary,
25, daughters Ada, 10, and Mary, 6, and son Walter, 4; we believe this
to be a son of either Allen or Isom. Living
in residence 203 was the family of Allen's brother Isom
Denton, 72, his wife Elizabeth,
62 daughters Hanna E., 28; Rachel, 23; and Mary A., 16; granddaughter
Dora,
10; and grandson Benjamin Trobridge, 4. So
based on these census reports, at least some of the children should
look
like this:
