Jesse Denson 40 physician, Martha Denson 21, Bula 2, Ann 45, Nellie 12
Martha Denson Denson?! is the daughter of Ann. Cornelia Denson or "Nellie" is her sister
I was confused by this data initially. It turns out, Jesse Denson married his Uncle Madison's daughter, Cornelia Denson's sister. Which was his first cousin. His mother in law/aunt Josephine Ann Denson and his first cousin/niece Cornelia "Nellie" Denson were living with him and Martha. They did come from Arkansas..... haha
