Biography
| Ann (Unknown) Dennis was a Friend (Quaker). Join: Quakers Project Discuss: quakers |
Ann was the wife of Samuel Dennis. The children born of Ann by her marriage to Samuel Dennis were listed in Quaker Green Street Monthly Meeting (see sources).
- Joseph, b. 15th day of 10th mo. 1718[1]
- Elizabeth, b. 20th day of 3rd mo. 1724
- Ann, b. 14th day of 3rd mo. 1729
- Dorcas, b. 6th day of 12th mo. 1730/31
- Samuel, b. 12th day of 2nd mo. 1732
- Sarah, b. 18th day of 12th mo. 1733/34
She appears to have been widowed before 17th March 1735/36 when the inventory of Samuel Dennis, who died intestate in Salem County was taken. Joseph Test and John Bacon were sureties on the bond for his widow Ann to administer the estate of her deceased husband. The will of Edward Test, dated 25th September 1759, named his sister Ann Dennis.
Ann Dennis was witness to the 1751 marriage of Ann Dennis to Mark Sheppard, and the 1762 marriage of Samuel Dennis to Elizabeth Hudson. She appears to have passed away prior to the 1770 marriage of Sarah Dennis to William Miller.

Test-138 and Unknown-606435 are not ready to be merged because: There is a good bit of evidence suggesting the widow Ann Dennis may have been the sister Ann Dennis named in the will of Edward Test. Setting these in an unmerged match in hopes of further documentation.
