Hey there...

Slowly getting my sea legs around here...I have DENNIS in my family on my mom’s side.  My DENNIS family that I know of lived in Annapolis, Maryland on South and West Rivers.  In fact my cousin sent me a couple of books with our family listed and a photo or two.  I also remember finding/reading about a DENNIS plantation owner who had slaves, who had his last name.  If memory serves me, these slaves were believed to have come from the West Indies based on the wrought iron arch which was shown in the photograph.  I may still have that document saved.  Research DENNIS family in Maryland.  I believe this man was well known, perhaps a doctor.  Not sure it’s been a while since I’ve reviewed this information.

 

One other thing, my Mary Jane DENNIS was my great, great grandmother of my mom’s side.  She married James Henry HOLLAND.  My mom’s mother Josephine HOLLAND was adopted by Jane and Henry and listed as a granddaughter, a mystery story until this day remains as such though my cousin and I have our theories.  Also, I am told that Jane was Native American Indian which this remains a mystery.  Her parents were Jacob M. DENNIS and Elizabeth MATTHEWS, who I am told the MATTHEWS were also Native American Indians too.  We can’t find Jennie MATTHEWS who was suppose to be full blooded.  Anyway, I have DENNIS in my family and there are quite a few living relative in Annapolis, Maryland.
