Herb, I have these notes. I'll let you figure them out. :- ) I just
have the notes, and have not checked them out, since this is not my line. I
see that I have duplicate notes on 2 of the children of Joseph, & am not
sure which is correct. My only interest in this line was as it connected to
the Boling lines of Washington County.

Subject: [INWASHIN] Joseph Denn(e)y/Sarah Elliott
I have some conflicting info. The Monroe County Cemetery book says
that
Joseph Denney, son of Thomas Denney and Mary Hattabaugh married Sarah
Elliott. The Obituary book, quoting the "History of Washington County"
says that Joseph Denny, son of Robert Denny and Rachel Thomas marries
Sarah
Elliott.
I would appreciate some clarification.
thanx
