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.

  • Name Martha Denbow  [1
    Birth 1812  Dover, Kent, Delaware, USA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1
    Gender Female 
    Research-Note
    • My source actually says her birth was in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire. I believe this is in error, as Dover Delaware is probably a day or two stage coach ride from Harford County, Maryland, whereas a trip to Dover, New Hampshire, would have been a major undertaking very unlikely for a pregnant mother to take.
