    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. The periodical "The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record," 120[1989]:10-17, 94-97, 160-163; 121[1990]:221-225, etc., "Descendants of the Rev. Richard Denton," by Walter C. Krumm. I have divided up this article and included each generation with the individual detailed (see notes of Rev. Richard Denton for summary of all other publications and researchers prior to this publication):
      "Samuel3 Denton (Nathaniel2, Rev. Richard1) was born say 1655 [based on his will which gives his age as about 43] in Hempstead, Long Island. He is variously described as carpenter (JTR 2:315) and planter (his will).
      Samuel married say 1676 Mary [Eardeley supplies a family name of "Brush" but cites no source; in his excellent account of the Long Island Brush family (REC. 66:201f.) Conklin Mann mentions no such marriage.] Mary appears in the records only twice: as "wife Mary" on Samuel's will, "to have use of the estate till the children come of age"; and in the following item dated 28 April 1704: "John Griss, of Queens County in relation to violations of the excise; affidavit of Mary, widow of Samuel Denton ... and warrant ... for the arrest of said widow Denton." (CEM 328)...
      Samuel died in Jamaica in the spring of 1699. His will, drawn 13 March 1698/9 and proved only two months later, 19 May 1699 (QCDW A:140, REG. 65:248), lists his wife and his children by name, four sons and three daughters - all under age except for a married daughter. The executors were: Captain John Carpenter [his neighbor to the south (JTR 2:254)] and Lieutenant Thomas Smith, perhaps a close friend.
      Children of Samuel and Mary (___) Denton, all born in Jamaica, Long Island:
      i. Sarah4, b. c1677; m. c.1693 [aged c.16] to Samuel Mills Jr.; he was a saddler of Jamaica, moved in 1712 to Greenwich, Conn., and was living there 1729. They had three children: Samuel, Clement, and Susannah (Lewis D. Cook, "A Documentary History of the Family of Mills" [typescript, 1939], pp. 24-7).
      ii. Samuel, Jr., b. say 1680 (not 21 in 1699).
      iii. Clement, b. say 1681-2 (not 18 in 1699); m. (1) c.1700 Ebenezer Smith of Norwalk, Conn., who d. Jamaica 1717, (2) John Gregory of Norwalk, Conn. She had 6 children by her first husband: Robert, John, Mary, Abraham, Ebenezer, and Samuel; and was still alive in 1734 (TAG 25:80).
      iv. Mary, b. say 1683, d. 1 Mar 1714 intestate, her eldest brother Samuel appointed to administer her estate at Jamaica (QCDW C:55, REC. 65:321).
      v. Jacamiah, b. say 1685.
      vi. Solomon, b. say 1690.
      vii. Hezekiah, b. sup. 10 March 1697/8."

      2. Per misc. comments from Worldconnect accessed 14 Feb 2010, surname may be Brush; however, no documentation is shown for it.

      3. Miscellaneous comments from Worldconnect accessed 14 Feb 2010, which describes the will of Samuel Denton, son to this individual: "Surrogate 9-42 Will of Samuel Denton of Jamaica, blacksmith, dated April 25, 1718, proved April 7, 1719. Mentions wife Martha, mother (not named), two brothers - Jacomiah and Hezekiah, also Samuel and Clement and Susannah, children of my sister Sarah Mills and Robert, John, Mary, Abraham and Ebenezer and Samuel, children of sister Clement Smith."
