Excerpt from Denny Genealogy, Vol. 2: The Descendants of William Denny of Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Allied Families of Culbertskon, Gaston, McNair, Rodgers, Walker and Many Others Many persons, whose biographies appear in this book, also supplied records of their ancestors. The late Mrs. Mary (smith) Brinker was untiring in sending recollections of early days in Pickaway County, Ohio. Mrs. W. A. Phillips, a resident of Terre Haute, for eighty-seven years, has done the same for Dennys of Vigo County, Indiana. Mr. Charles Pinkerton, of Mt. Kisco, New York, gave access to an amazing manuscript book written by his uncle, Samuel Stanhope Smith Pinkerton. Mrs. Dorothy (greve) Jarnagin, of Athens, Georgia, supplied old Bible records and wrote the biography of her mother, Mrs. Jeanette Sterling (smith) Greve. Mrs. David Hart, of Leonia, New Jersey, assisted with the index. None of our own ancestors is recorded in this book. Begun as an academic study, as the original and unrecorded docu ments were discovered. The work became of absorbing interest. We hope the reading of it will bring profit and pleasure. It is an authentic social history of colonial and post-colonial times as seen through the life of two family groups, who bear the name and blood of Denny.
