  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. Citation Information: Judd, Peter H. "Genealogical and Biographical Notes: Haring-Herring, Clark, Denton, White, Griggs, Judd, and Related Families." New York: P.H. Judd, 2005. (Online database. NewEnglandAncestors.org. New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2005.) The statements are sourced, but I did not copy them yet. The following is partial quote of the full transcript in the notes of Nathaniel the father: "Nathaniel2 Denton (Richard1), b. March 1628 in Bolton, Lancashire, England, bp. there on 9 March 1629, and a second time later in life, on 9 March 1682; d. bef. 18 Oct. 1690 in Jamaica, Queens Co., N.Y.; m. poss. Sarah ____ prob. by 1653... Nathaniel's three sons can be identified from the land grants he made to them while he lived; he also had one and possibly two daughters. Their birthdates and chronological order remain uncertain. Children of Sarah ____ and Nathaniel2 Denton, all born in Hempstead (pre-1656) or Jamaica, Long Island: i. Nathaniel3 Denton Jr., b., say, 1653. ii. Samuel3 Denton, b., say, 1655. iii. Richard3 Denton, b., say, 1658. iv. Phebe3 Denton, b., say, 1652 [KP: Typo: 1662?]; m. John Foster. In their wills, Nathaniel3 named "brother Foster," and Richard3 "brother - John Foster," as an overseer. v. Maria3 Denton, b., say, 1664, bp. 18 June 1664." 2. 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): "Nathaniel2 Denton (Richard1), born (at least baptised) at Turton, Bolton Priory, Lancashire in early 1629, died Jamaica, Long Island in 1690 before 18 October (JTR 2:317-8). As the eldest son he probably married by 1653 in Hempstead, Long Island to a bride identified in 1664 and 1689 records only as Sarah (BDC 73 and JTR 1:316, 319). Combes added a last name of "Smith," citing the will of Nathaniel3, Jr., who referred to one "Nathaniel Smith" as his "cousin." Solid evidence is lacking for this conjecture, and there may be another explanation for Nathaniel, Jr.'s reference... Nathaniel's three sons can be identified from the land grants he made to them while he lived (e.g., JTR 2:272-3, 315-9); he also had one and possibly two daughters. Their birthdates and chronological order remain uncertain. Children of Nathaniel and Sarah (___) Denton, all born in either Hempstead (pre-1656) or Jamaica, Long Island: i. Nathaniel3, b. say 1653. ii. Samuel, b. say 1655. iii. Richard, b. say 1658. iv. Phebe, b. say 1662, m. John Foster. In their wills Nathaniel3 named "brother Foster," and Richard3 "brother ... John Foster," as an overseer (WNYHS 2:220; REC. 65:248; Combes, 15). v. Maria, b. say 1664, bap. 18 June 1664 (BDC 73)."
