This Hiram Dennis married Rachel E. Christler 13 Nov 1851 in Troup Co, GA. (Bk C:p. 264) He shows up in the 1850 Troup Co, GA census, as Hiram Dennis, Jr, age 22 farmer, b. GA. He is either the son of Allen Dennis or his brother, Hiram Dennis. 22 would be born ca 1828, relatively close to your guy. He was living with Jas. McCallery, so this is no help. In the 1830 Lincoln Co, GA census, both Allen and Hiram had a son under 5. AND, there was a Sam; Dennis in the 1830 Troup Co, GA census.
It is my guess your Hiram is the son of Allen for the following reasons:
Hiram Dennis has a child, Hiram S. in his household in 1850. Hiram also has a daughter listed as 22, though that age for your Hiram does not agree with the history.
Troup County books have the cemetery records for the senior Hiram and wives. Where did Allen go? It appears some of his children married in Troup Co in the 1870's. Perhaps there is a probate record for him, or even a will, in Troup Co.
