From David Macdonald: death date as 23 May 1875. One of the dates given has transposed the last two digits.
From Annals of the Forty No. 9
"Dennis, b. 1 January, 1790. Dennis came to Canada with his
parents when he was eight years old. In the sketch which
was given in the Historical Atlas of Lincoln and Welland, he
writes that he well remembered the journey. They came along
the waterways in a ‘Schenectady boat which was seaworthy and
comfortable but without sails. There were only a few scattered
log houses at The Forty and one plank house. He speaks
of the wild animals lurking in the woods on the hill. Wild cats
were numerous and their cries could be heard nightly floating
down the hillside. Wolves and bears were also plentiful
and in a single night would often kill or carry off the sheep
and pigs of a settler.
Dennis was married to Catherine, daughter of Allen
and Mary (Moore) Nixon, 29 March, 1810, and, according
to family history, it was not a perfect union. Dennis was a
Baptist in religion and a Reformer in politics. Catherine was
an Anglican, and as a daughter of a Loyalist was a strong
Tory. Dennis became a member of the Legislative Assembly
of Upper Canada from 1834 - 1836. He was urged to be a
candidate in the election of 1836 but refused probably because
at this time Rebellion was rearing its ugly head.
Dennis inherited the home farm, Lot 16, Concs. I and II.
In his day it was mostly mixed farming, but it is said that as
early as 1820 he sold peaches on the Hamilton market.
Catherine, wife of Dennis, died 2 June, 1851, and two
years later he married Mary Ann Nelles, widow of George
Richardson. He died in 1857 and was buried in St .Andrew’s
churchyard.

22 February, 1836, died 1883. Children:—
John Ralph, Dr. Theoron, Edgar Judson, Dr. Algernon,
Dr. Solon and Delos.

March, 1832. Her descendants live in Halton County.

Philadelphia and after receiving his degree practiced in
Hamilton, and was the first homeopathic doctor in the

a member of the Baptist church and was largely responsible
for establishing a church in Grimsby. He m. 1.
