Biography

JOSEPH DENNIS3 (Joseph1, John2), son of John and Kezia (Ball) Dennis, was born in Rockhill 12 mo. 14, 1741.^[1] He removed to Canada with his family in 1788, taking a certificate from Richland Monthly Meeting to the meeting at Niagara, dated 5 mo. 29, 1788, which included his wife Deborah and three children. Deborah is supposed to have been the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Webster, of [page102] Hunterdon County, N. J., born 12 mo. 9, 1743. She was disowned as Deborah Dennis by Kingwood Monthly Meeting 12 mo. 18, 1781, for marriage out of unity. Children of Joseph and Deborah (Webster) Dennis:

1. Ann
2. Joseph
3. Deborah

It is possible he was a loyalist and a Quaker and he did not want to get involved in the Revolutionary war.
