Incorrect Entrys For Robert Denton Sr

By Richard Russell March 29, 2003 at 01:46:51

Hello:
For serious, interested, genealogists, and descendents of Robert Denton Sr (married 1738 Burlington NJ to Jane Moon):
Over the past 100 approx years, two of the main points that were long ago proved as incorrect, was:
1. Jonus/Jonas Denton, of the Rev. Richard Denton line, was not within a hundred miles of Robert Denton Sr (mar'd Jane Moon) when conceived, or birthed. Thus Jonus/Jonas, like the other bad guesses, and impossible ones, was not Roberts daddy.
2. Robert Denton Sr/Jane Moon had no daughter named Mary; and no one will ever run across a record of same.

Thus when reading some of the inaccurate accounts, family lines, descents, FGS's, etc. on the Robert Denton/Jane Moon family, as at LDS, "web-sites, etc., you will know that you will have to CHECK OUT THESE points for yourself FIRST, and then can disregard any such made up info/data. Of course, you always check for yourself, and never just copy the info/data of others (who probably did not check either), as that is the reason why all of this inaccurate info/data gets noted to begin with, then repeated, and repeated, and repeated. It does not get truer, just repeated bad guesses, or persons trying to "connect" to someone, anyone, just to "complete" their paper lists, family tree,or writing a book, or such. Their are hundreds of excellent professional and amateur genealogists out there, but if you study a little, you will find the only real difference, is that one charges, as that is their occupation, or "calling".
Further, you can check the records, all of them, for Old Frederick, Augusta, Shennadoah, Hampshire, Hardy, and other area counties of Virginia, and you will find Robert Denton had no interests "connected" to the Dentons, had no contact except accidental with two of the "associated" Dentons, and never had direct contact with Jonus/Jonas Denton, nor he with Robert Denton, and none of the Dentons (except for Robert Dentons work)had any contact, association, or such with Robert Denton. Period. READ THE ORIGINAL RECORDS, NOT someones abstracts, or printed copies of the so called records. Read Court, Land, Minutes, Old Papers, Histories, and all the rest.
The only Denton close to, or within a hundred miles of Robert Denton Sr, in all of New Jersey, when he was conceived and birthed, was the elder Thomas Denton, of the exact same Evesham/Burlington, the long dead John Denton, and the William Denton (who had no sons), both of lower NJ.
I wish to thank all of the Rev Richard Denton researchers, and those who know they are not, and the rest.
Take care.RegardsDick
