This profile is part of the New London County, Connecticut One Place Study.

Note:

• All records except possibly one, say that Elizabeth married Oliver Hillard DENNIS not Oliver DENISON.(References below)
• The two men mentioned above may have been, according to the research by the profile manager, historically confused with each other, as noted in the profiles of both gentlemen.
• The one questionable record is that of a child named Oliver Denison, that was born to Oliver Denison and wife Elizabeth. This is currently under investigation.^[1]
