    Notes:

    No consensus has formed to describe what appear to be three 17th-century men named Robert Dennis, at least one of whom was an immigrant from England (and maybe one from Wales), at least two of whom were in Massachusetts for a time, at least on in Rhode Island and two in New Jersey. One may be the son of an immigrant William Dennis, and there are brothers named John and Jonathon. I'm using this version not because I'm sure it is the most accurate or captures the most points, but because it seems to have the most comprehensive plausible explaination, by Hornor, William Stockton, in This old Monmouth of ours : history, tradition, biography, genealogy, and other anecdotes related to Monmouth County, New Jersey, available on FamilySearch. That is:

    Robert Dennis, born about 1617 in England, immigrated to Tiverton, RI in 1635, settled in Yarmouth MA, and then moved to Woodbridge , NJ as one of a group of men from New England would who bought land in New Jersey and subdivided it to form the towns of Woodbridge and Piscataway. Three of his sons were
    1. Robert, who died in Rhode Island,

    2. Jonathan, who died in Cumberland Co, NJ, and

    3. John, who along with this father, settled in Woodbridge, NJ, married Sarah Bloomfield, and whose daughter. Sarah Dennis, married Benjamin Fitzrandolph.
