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.

1651	Rush was apparently her maiden name. Mann book lists Rush as maiden name but has her last name as Williamson even before she married Linus, her apparent first marriage.

1654	Ruth's last name is spelled so many different ways in various documents relating to her and to other members of the family that I've made a decision in each case to spell it the way it was in that particular document. So you will see the name spelled Tanner, Tennor, Tennar, Tenner, etc. -- in this database. I can find nothing definitive to date that shows a "right way" or even an "accepted way" to spell this name. My g2grandmother, Ruth, named her son James Tanner Denbow, so that is my personal preference.	Tanner, Ruth (I4254)
