Biography

According to a Find A Grave: Memorial #115612535, which is intrinsically unsourced, thus specious, "Polly" Jones was born 27 Aug 1764 at New London, Connecticut.

According to the Descendants of Ephraim Miner ref. no. 1048 [[1]], which is a poorly documented and variable online site, a Polly Jones, born 25 Aug 1764, was the first child of Samuel Jones & Mary Miner. This reference further states Polly was also known as Mary Jones. She was born about 1763 in of Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom. Polly married David WILLIAMS on 28 Jul 1783 in Saint Augustine The Less, Bristol, Gloucester, England. David was born about 1763 in of Bristol, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom. He died. In view of the uncertainty of whether this Polly Jones has been accurately described, she has not yet been attached to the cited parent profiles. Should evidence arise to support such attachment, this profile should be edited accordingly.

According to both the Denison Genealogy (1963) and the Groton Avery Clan (1912) she married in 1794 David Denison, apparently as her second husband because she is designated "Mrs. Polly Williams, born Jones". They had 5 children:

1. Polly Denison, b. 1795; married, 3 children
2. Orrel Denison, b. 1797
3. Ansel Denison, b. 1799
4. Caroline Denison, b. 1800
5. Furman Denison, b. 1802

This family resided at Kortright, New York.

Polly (Jones/Williams) Denison died 10 Oct 1832, with her grave in McMurdy Brook Road Cemetery, Kortright Center, Delaware County, New York, USA.
