Notes for Nathaniel Denson:
THE DENSON FAMILY IN AMERICA Compiled by Mamie DENSON Ragland Gilmer, Texas April 6, 1959
As our great-grandfather remained in Mississippi, I know very little about him. A Mrs. Carnes, who with her husband, lived in Gilmer a short time several years ago, heard I was a DENSON and came to see me. She told me that she was from Mississippi, and the community there several DENSONS were still living, near Old Jerusalem Baptist Church and was a neighbor to them. She said there were two Dr. DENSONS and both had practiced in her Family. She spoke well of them. I also met a Mrs. DENSON who was visiting friends in Gilmer, whose home was in Cameron, Texas. Her husband was a doctor, and she said his brother was also a doctor both practicing together in Cameron. She said they were from Mississippi and related to the Williamson County DENSONS. She also told me that she had attended a family reunion of the family, held in New Orleans. They had reserved rooms in three hotels and were there from Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. She had also visited her husband's family in Mississippi. She speaks well of them.
I will include a few anecdotes or happening as told to me by my father that he remembered of their lives. According to both he and Uncle George, the two brothers who immigrated to America came from Wales however the name is Swedish. They came in the 1780's, no date given, settled in the Yazoo Valley, not very far from Jackson, Mississippi. They evidently had Christian parents. Note their names.
