Biography
NOTE ON Estimated Date of Birth - since he lived 4 Apr 1778 in NC and is cited as having or owning property bounding that of Michael Hauser, he had to have been at least age 21. I am using before 1750 rather than before 1757 Smith-157141
Hughgan Denton lived on the same land later owned by Thomas Denton in Surry Co NC.

# 57 4 Apr 1778 HAUSER, MICHAEL. 400 acres on Muddy Creek, where the Town Fork road crosses the said Creek to Richmond bounded by Hughgan Denton & Henry Hendrakes, caveat entered by Philip Shouse -- jury finds for Hauser
From Walter Krumm at Genforum: There are at least 3 or 4 Denton lines which appear in very early VA records, but their ancestry is unrecorded in that state, except for some wills and changes in land ownership. These appear in the counties around southern Chesapeake Bay, and some lines of descent can be traced a bit. Again a complication is they are all named Henry & James & John. They may have arrived under indentures which had to be worked off before they could acquire their own land. It is quite sketchy.
