I am interested in an Anthony Denis of Somerset who had a daughter Fanny Jackson who married John Hathaway 13th of October 1803 Bristol RI. I found this in my Hathaway's of America book. This Anthony Denis was listed as Guradian to Fanny and John's Children 7th Dec 1812 after John Hathaway dies. Children: Minerva and John. John Hathaway's father was a Quaker. I am researching my ancestor John Hathaway born 1806; he would fit into this family very neatly. I want to research this Dennis angle to rule in or out this family in my search. I have lots of circumstantial eveidence for a relationship. I want proof. E-mail me at hdodge@union-tel.com, or just answer this comment. I am following your blog. Heather
