Descendants of Adam Dennis

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  ADAM1 DENNIS was born Abt. 1748 in New Jersey, and died in Ontario, Canada.  He married SOPHIA UNKNOWN. 

 

Adam  Dennis was born about 1748 in New Jersey.    Adam immigrated to the Niagara area of Ontario, Canada,around 1787.  Families who were loyal to Great Britain during the American Revolution could  obtain land grants, and it is likely that he is the Adam Dennis listed as a United Empire Loyalist in Canadian land records.   Although not a Quaker himself, there were a number of Quakers named Dennis who settled in the same area at about this time.  When he was living in New Jersey, Adam is listed as a member of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oldwick.  He may have followed the religion of his wife, Sophia, who was probably of German extraction.

15.  BYRON5 DENNIS (JOHN4, ADAM3, JOHN I.2, ADAM1) was born 1848 in Michigan, and died December 27, 1888 in Kansas11.  He married ZEMIRA NANCY MAPES, daughter of ALBERT MAPES and ESTHER HAGER.  She was born August 16, 1850 in Michigan12, and died October 1943 in St. Mary's Hospital, Grand Rapids,  Michigan.

 

Notes for BYRON DENNIS:

 

 

The life and death of Byron Loomis Dennis is somewhat of a mystery.  He was born in Ada, Kent County, Michigan, and probably married there, although no record of his marriage has been found.  Sometime around 1877, he and his wife travelled to Kansas, where they began farming in Russell County.  Several other members of the Dennis clan, including Byron's uncle Abraham, also moved to Kansas.  Byron and Myra show up on the 1880 for Russell County with two adopted daughters, Joicee Lizzie, age 5, and Lillie B., age 3, both born in Pennsylvania.  Since their biological parents were also born in Pennsylvania, they cannot be children of a previous marriage.   These two children are quite a mystery, since they are not listed on later census records with Myra after Byron's death.

 

The biggest mystery is Byron's death itself.  One Dennis family researcher gives a death date of December 27, 1888.  Others just give the year 1888.  No death certificate or obituary has been found, nor has any cemetery record.  Family tradition says that Byron was murdered while on an expedition in an unsettled part of Kansas , so perhaps his body was never recovered.

Notes for ZEMIRA NANCY MAPES:

Nancy Zemira Mapes was the oldest daughter of Albert R. Mapes and his first wife, Esther Ann Hager.  She was named for grandmother.   As a child, she was known as Nancy, but, as an adult, she preferred to be called Myra.

 

Myra married Byron  Dennis sometime between 1870 and 1880. They left Michigan to homestead in Russell County, Kansas, where they adopted two little girls, Joicee Lizzie and Lillie B.  Nothing is known of these children, except what appears on the 1880 US Census:  they and their birth parents were born in Pennsylvania.   There is no evidence that they returned to Michigan with Myra after Byron's death in 1888.

 

Myra probably returned to Michigan shortly after Byron's death. By 1894 she had settled with her two children, George Albert and Bertus Irving, in Barry County near her father and stepmother.  In 1900 she married Silas Gates, a farmer, and in 1909 they adopted two daughters. Frances and Lillian.  Myra joined the First Christian Church of Vergennes (also known as the Alton Church) Dec. 23, 1905,  with the well respected Elder E. Mudge as her sponsor.

 

In her later years, Myra lived with her children.  The 1920 US Census finds her living with her son George, his wife Emma, and their son, Orlo, at 433 Michigan St. in Grand Rapids.  She had now gone back to using the name Myra Dennis.  Silas Gates, her second husband, was still listing himself as a married man, but he was living in Barry with his sister and nephew.   By 1930 Myra had moved in with the family of her adopted daughter, Frances Dennis Houseman, at 1042 Underwood St., in Grand Rapids.  Frances' daughter, Mira, was named for her grandmother.

 

 Myra died in October of 1943 at the age of 93 years 2 months 14 days. Her death was reported by her son-in-law, Joseph Houseman. She died from complications of a fracture from a fall that occurred when moving from her

bed to a chair at the Stages Nursing Home.  Her obituary, which appeared in the Monday edition of the Grand Rapids Herald on November 1, 1943, reads:

 

"Myra Mates (sic) Dennis age 93 of ll26 Giddings Ave Se passed away Sat eve. at St. Mary's Hospital. Surviving are one son George, two adopted daughters, Mrs. Joseph L Houseman, and Mrs. Howard Roberts, both of Grand Rapids. 4 grand children 2 great grandchildren.

Notes for FRANKIE B. DENNIS:

Buried buried at Ada Cemetery, Ada, Kent Co., Michigan. No stone marks the site . He is in A1-052-4W--no section given) (Frankie Dennis, 5y 1m 5d, no date, lis ted at Bailey Cemetery (G.R. 40)Vergennes Township, Kent County

Frankie Dennis is listed by several Dennis family researchers as the oldest son of Byron and Myra Mapes Dennis.   No birth or death record is cited.  Frankie is recorded by some researchers as buried at Ada Cemetery, Ada, Kent Co., Michigan, with no stone marking the site . His grave site is listed in that cemetery index as A1-052-4W--no section given.

 

To add to the confusion, a Frankie Dennis, age 5years, 1month, 5days, with no burial date, is  listed at Bailey Cemetery (G.R. 40), Vergennes Township, Kent County.   This Frankie is thought by some researchers to be the son of Byron and Myra.

 

Michigan's Genealogical Death Indexing System shows a Frankie B. Dennis, born in Michigan, who died of croup on April 22, 1878, in Barry County, MI, at the age of 4 years and 1 month.  His father's name is listed as Byron L. Dennis and his mother as Jennie Dennis. This may be a case of two men named Byron Dennis -- one of whom was the father of little Frankie and, probably, a Louisa Dennis Sebert (03/01/1882-11/01/1905) who is buried in the Millington Cemetery.   She is listed as the daughter of Byron Dennis, but Byron and Myra Mapes Dennis were in Kansas in 1882.

22.  JOSEPHINE ORCELIA5 RIGGS (ESTHER S.4 DENNIS, ADAM3, JOHN I.2, ADAM1) was born September 17, 1855 in Ada, Kent, MI, and died October 26, 1942 in Ada, Kent, MI.  She married JAMES HENRY WARD March 31, 1872 in Michigan.  He was born 1850, and died 1919.

 

Notes for JOSEPHINE ORCELIA RIGGS:

Josephine was born on Riggs Farm in east Ada township and was probably very familiar with her grandparents, Jedediah and Philinda, since they lived in her home until they died. Philinda died when Josephine was ten (1865), Jedediah when she was thirteen (1868). Josephine used to tell stories to the grandchildren about their family, but very few have been passed down to the present day. She used to tell her grandkids that the Riggs family was from Wales, although there is nothing yet to support this.

Josephine married James Henry Ward (b. 1850), March 31, 1872. Their farm, according to the 1875 plat map of Ada, was about a mile west of her parents’ home on Conservation Street. James owned 160 acres including the N/2 NW/4 and the SE/4 NW/4 of Section 24. On top of that, the Ward’s helped out on Riggs Farm and were the chief proprietors of both farms until the Fairchild’s took the Riggs Farm over.

 

James became the supervisor of Ada Township for 27 years. Township records show him being sworn in April 8, 1905. This would have been in the middle of his service as a supervisor.

Josephine, herself, was also active in the community. According to her obituary, she taught school in Ada for several years. This was a fitting occupation for her, since her father was a member of the Grange, a society devoted partially to educating farmers and their children. Her sister, Delphine, was also a teacher.

They were listed in Grattan Township in the 1880 census of Kent County with their four year old son, Ashley, and one year old, Maurice. Their son, Wetherby (b. around 1883), died in an tragic accident on August 29, 1885.

James and Josephine lived next to Josephine's parents, Augustus and Esther (Dennis) Riggs, in Ada until the Riggs’ death. Others nearby was the family of Thomas and Lettie (Cooley) Chaffee. A younger sister of Thomas, Olive, would marry Ashley Ward.

 

James died in 1919 and was buried in the Bailey Cemetery, Vergennes Township, Kent County, Michigan. Josephine went to live with her son, Webb, in Ada and was found there in the 1920 census.

 

Josephine was diagnosed with heart trouble around 1939 and hypertension around 1940. On October 23, 1942, she became ill. She died of a cerebral hemorrhage hypertension on Monday, October 26, 1942, at 3:00 in the morning. Her funeral service was held at the Bailey Church in Vergennes. She was buried in the Bailey Cemetery, next to her husband, J. H. Ward, and children Maurice and Webbie. – from
