I am looking for information on Martin Denyes - according to the DENYES BOOK - "descendant of a French Huguenot family who fled into Holland at the time of the great persecution of the religious reformers..." It is believed he was a decendant of a Dutch family who arrived in America around 1610,
He settled on the shores of the Bay of Quinte. His wife was Ruth Owens (a widow with a daughter - Sara. 5 children were mentioned in his last will. Anna, John, Peter, Jacob and Sara.
If you have any earlier information, I would appreciate it.
Especially the origional surname spelling.
Thanks,
Brenda
