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.

Notebooks - Mom's Families #7

Branom, Jeanne. "Kalcklőser / Colclasure Family Research," Typescript, 1998.

Johan Hendrick Kalcklőser was born in Frankenthal (Rhineland Palatinate), Germany about 1696.(1)  Frankenthal is near Mannheim. Very little proof is available, at this time, concerning the early life of Johan Hendrick. However, it is probable that he joined the Seventh Day Baptists at an early age, since it has been recorded that he left Frankenthal at age 19 to join Alexander Mack's group in Schwarzenau (Wittgentstein),(2) due to religious persecution in the Frankenthal area. . . . 

In 1724, after the reading of the banns (three times at two-week intervals) or proclamations, Johan Hendrick and Anna Flys Layen were married on 28 February 1724.(4)  It is believed that all three sons were born of this union. Some time between the date of this marriage and the departure for Philadelphia in 1729, Anna Flys Layen probably died, since Johan Hendrick had a different wife, Agnes (Anna) Margaretha,(5) at the time of sailing from Rotterdam. (Alexander Mack, Jr. records that he knew "the two wives of Johan Hendrick.")(6) . . . 

The ship Allen arrived in Philadelphia on 15 September 1729.(7) Among the passengers were Johan Hendrick Kalcklőser with his family: his wife Agnes, sons Christophel (or

Biography: Casper Johnson, the ancestor of the Johnson family of Richland and Quakertown, was of Holland descent and was born in or near Germantown about the year 1720. He was a son of John Johnson or Jansen of Germantown, and possibly a grandson of Claus Jansen, one of the early settlers of Germantown who about 1708 located in Skippack Township, then part of a large section known as Bebber's Township. Casper Johnson was living in Upper Dublin Township, Philadelphia County, in 1761, when he purchased a tract of 253 acres in Richland, one mile north of Quakertown borough, part of the Joseph Gilbert Tract of 1000 acres, lying between the tract of Everard Roberts on the south and
