Denman Family History: From the Earliest Authentic Records Down to the Present Time (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Denman Family History: From the Earliest Authentic Records Down to the Present Time

The Denman Book does not attempt to give records of all Denmans, though it is well understood that all persons bearing that name have descended from the same kind of source. from some Dane-man. There are many in England and Canada, and in the United States whom we cannot reach; and of many others we find only such fragments of records as are of little practical value. No records are here presented which do not definitely lead from a particular ancestor.

Much time and labor was given to the collection of Denman records by Mr. Charles Woodruff Woolley, Sr., of Buffalo. N. Y., and Mrs. Mary R. Matthews of Newark. N. J., both direct descendants from the Denmans of Retford, England. Since their decease. - Mr. Woolley in 1907, and Mrs. Matthews in 1901. - further collections have been secured from various sources. The direct family descent has been found for a large group of Denmans who did not know who were their ancestors; and some-. smaller gaps have been filled.

And very recently discovery has been made of many descendants of two brothers who went from New Jersey to Georgia in Revolutionary times, and were lost to the knowledge of their kindred.

This has caused delay in publication; but it is hoped that no one will regret it.
