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.

James Denbow

-
Name James Denbow Born 20 Apr 1824 Harford, Maryland, USA - Several sources list his birth year as 1823; the official Graves Record from the Adjutant General's office says 1827, which is most assuredly wrong.

- He died of smallpox. The Pension Office ruled that his death was not "service related" because there was no smallpox in camp when he left for home. The family spent years appealing this denial, and there is a very large pension file at the National Archives. It's is unclear whether or not the denial was ever reversed. The last denial on record, though undated, appears to have been in 1899.
