Are you kin to David Scroggins from Ridgway? Dave was our neighbor and good friend to my dad (Charles Clifton (Kayo) Dennison).

My gg-grandfather is Robert Denison( I am not sure who Robert's parents are there is a lot of ideas. One is John Denison Jr.) born Jan 18, 1818 married Mahala Celia Greenlee on March 29, 1836.
Children were:

John T. July 3, 1837 ( my g-grandfather)

Ruth Jane Jan 14, 1839

James Preston April 3 1840

Hesther/Esther Lucinda Jan 31, 1842

William A. May 4, 1845

Mary abt. 1848

David abt 1852

Lafayett about 1855

Joseph b. June 1858 died Aug 25 1918 (buried Jones Cem.in Saline County, Illinois)

Robert and Celia ( Mahala on two census) are in Jefferson Co., Tn. in 1850, Crittenden Co., Ky. in 1860 and in Pope Co., Il. in 1870

John T. ( my g-grandfather )married Matilda C. Smith ( g-grandmother) (b. abt. 1834)on May 20, 1855 in Coffee Co. Tn.

Children are:

James R. b. abt.1855

William Walter b. abt. 1867 Crittenden Co., Ky

Kettie Jane b. Sept, 1869 Crittenden Co., Ky(married Pettie Smock Sept. 12, 1887 in Gallatin Co., Illinois)

Alexander Clifton b. May 10, 1873 Crittenden Co., Ky. died April 1, 1946 ( buried in Jackson Cem Gallatin Co., Illinois) married Elmira E. ( Ella) Partain ( daughter to Wilson C. Partain and Cynthia Hathaway).

Ezekial b. Feb. 19, 1874 Crittenden Co., Ky.( married Hattie Hedger September 17, 1891 in Eagle Town, Gallatin Co.)

John T. remarried after the 1870 census to a Annie Carnett ( I think they were married in Crittenden Co., Ky. As a census shows for Crittenden Co. a Annie Carnett being married to a Carnett. ) and moved to Eagle Town (Eagle, Ill.).
Annie had children by her previous marriage.
Her children living with them in the 1880 census for Eagle Creek, Gallatin, Illinois were:
William W Carnett age 18
James P. Carnett age 13

My grandfather was Alexander Clifton Dennison. Don't really know why spelling changed but my dad, uncles and aunt used Dennison and so did my grandfather or at least its that way on his monument. Some spellings were Denison/Deniston/ Dennison/Denniston
