Hillbillies & Vikings

This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.

      Title: Ohio 1850 Census
      Type: Tasks
      For Person: Record: "Bazeleel DENBOW"
      Date: January 24, 2012
      Status: open

      Researching the Ohio 1850 Census makes sense because he was married in 1847 in Washington, Ohio, USA and he died in 1857 in Washington, Ohio, USA. The 1850 census is important because it was the first U.S. census to list all family members, not just the head of household. Some background on Bazeleel DENBOW [1036]: He was born in 1795 in Maryland, USA, and he died on 20-JUN-1857 in Washington, Ohio, USA. He married Mary ANN [125] on 1810, and had the following children: Vincent [1445] (1819), Nancy [1342] (1820), Sarah [1398] (1823), Catherine [1059] (1824), Thomas [1437] (1833), and Elisah [1112] (1834). He married SARAH Elder [3723] on 30-SEP-1847 in Washington, Ohio, USA. His parents were Thomas DENBOW [1432] (b. 1765, d. 1826 in Harford, Maryland, USA), and Unknown UNKNOWN [15] (b. 1766, d. 1833).

      Here is what this family might look like in 1850: Head Of Household: DENBOW, Bazeleel
