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.

422	Death Certificate says he died of prostatic cancer; however, my personal memory is that he had been climbing an oil derrick at age 80 and slipped and broke his back. I personally saw him on his death bed, laying on a couch, with his back supposedly broken. I was told that he contracted pneumonia and died from pneumonia about a week or so after I last saw him. His sister Cora was taking care of him. I have no way to reconcile this contradictory information.	Denbow, James Ira (I1201)
