About 20 years ago my mother showed me the 1723 gravestone of Samuel
Dennis, and said that her grandmother Elizabeth Tilton Dennis, had told
her that this was her ancestor. I went to various libraries to see if
she was correct, but could not find much on the Dennis Family. So I
spent some time researching, and it turns out that she was right. Which
proves that you should always listen to your mother. My mother,
grandmother and great grandmother also took the trouble to write the
names on the backs of all the old family photos, for which I am very
thankful.
