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.

    • Some sources give his birth year as 1878. I think this has to do with rounding errors associated with subtracting age from census years.

    • This marriage apparently didn't last very long. When Roll died six years later in 1912 there is no mention in either obituary that I read of a wife as either predeceasing or surviving him. She seems quickly forgotten. I've now discovered that she lived until 1957, and is buried in different cemetery from Roll.
