  • John Dennis of Virginia

    From Paulo Ricardo Canedo@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 12 19:08:13 2022
    https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dennis-59 has immigrant John Dennis of Virginia as son of John Dennis, granducle of Thomas Ligon, and Eleanor Millett. That parentage is clearly wrong as the supposed father's own profile lists no such son. However, could he
    have belonged in this family? Thomas Ligon's mother was a Dennis and immigrants often had relatives who were also immigrants.

    The grandmother of Col. Thomas Ligon, the immigrant, was Frances Dennis. The mother of Col. Thomas Ligon was Elizabeth Pratt.

    Yes, sorry, I confused Thomas Ligon with his namesake father.

    Frances Dennis (d/o High Dennis and Katherine Trye) apparently did have a brother named John.

    I know, and as I said, Wikitree has the John Dennis of Virginia as his son but as his own profile, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dennis-664, notes, he had no such son. I just saw a comment on the immigrant's own profile on 4 September 2021 noting the
    parents were wrong and should be disconnected but it wasn't done until I did it just now.
