Joseph Thomas Denson - Death Cert. - Winchester, TN Denson Line
Hi,
I have a book, "Who's Who of American Densons," of Denson family group sheets done in 1992 by Scottsdale Family Treasures. There are about 100 group sheets done by Densons across America. Some born as early as 1910. They are not indexed. I found the one below interesting because he included a copy of a death cert. of his grandfather who died in 1938. I would be willing to do look ups.
One of the group sheets was made out by a Thomas Edwin Denson who was born April 15, 1927 in Chattanooga, TN. He was married to a Betty Ann Harmon. (Lists 2 dau.'s that may be living). He states his parents were Thomas Alfred Denson and Annie Elizabeth Brown. Thomas Edwin Denson was living in Booneville, MS at the time he filled out this family group sheet. Thomas states he has a sibling named Fred Alfred Denson who was age 62 at the time, he made out this group sheet.
Thomas Edwin Denson stated that he would like to know who the grandparents of his father, Thomas Alfred Denson, was. He sent a copy of a death cert. of Joseph Thomas Denson who died Oct. 11, 1938 in Rossville, Walker Co., GA at age 75. Joseph Thomas Denson was born in Winchester, TN. The Death cert. states his father was unknown but born in TN. Mother was Rainey Keith born in TN. Joseph Thomas Denson's occupation was a Spinner at the Richmond Mill. He was Married, White, Male. Died of Senility and Hyperten... Heart Disease. Informant was Joseph's son W.L. Denson of Dalton/Dilt...?, GA.
I cannot read the cemetery he was buried in, but the undertaker was Smith Funeral Service in Chattanooga, TN.
Hope this helps some Franklin Co., TN Densons. I believe that Frances Lurania Denson is probably Rainey Denson. Interesting to find out she may have been a Keith.
Carolyn
