Ahnentafel #900 - (--?--) Dennen

(--?--) Dennen 

Born: ca. 1710, possibly in northern Ireland
Died: unknown

Buried: unknown

Married: ca 1730

Notes: 
The name in Irish records is Dinnen. Name in England is Dennen. 

People on Ancestry are saying this is William Dennen married to Marie Barbary or Barbara, the source they are using is a Civil War pension file from Maine.  There's no evidence that our Dennen's lived in Maine and certainly none that a Quaker would have participated in the Civil War. If the Dennen's in Ireland were Quakers.  

Perhaps they were from somewhere other than Ireland. 

Not listed in All England & Wales, Quaker Birth, Marriage & Death Registers 1578-1837 database on Ancestry.

Andrew Dennen listed in Immigration of Irish Quakers to Pennsylvania 1682-1750 as husband of Rachel Blackburn.  He is not listed as an immigrant in his own right.  There are no other Dennens listed in that database on Ancestry.
