I found this on google, possible ancestor or sibling of Samuel Dennis- record of an indictment for unlawful assembly. Dates to 1684. LDS website www.familysearch.org has a listing for Benjamin Dennis born about 1624 Stansted Mountfitchet Essex England; but no source. Knowing that Samuel was a Quaker, and there was a Quaker meeting in Stansted makes it seem likely that this Benjamin was a Quaker too since the indictment was for a religious assembly.
