  1. 1.  Robert Dennis was born about 1617 in England; died about 1696 in Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 1643, Yarmouth, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, USA; Barnstable County was formed from part of Plymouth County in 1685. It comprises the entirety of the Cape Cod peninsula
    • Civil: 1654, Massachusetts Bay Colony; Represented parties in a lawsuit

    Notes:

    This profile may represent a father and son, both named Robert Dennis. There is confusion about the origins of three men named Robert Dennis. By 1640, an immigrant named Robert Dennis was established in Yarmouth, MA. A Robert Dennis moved from Yarmouth to Woodbridge, Middlesex Co, NJ, in the 1660's, but records of Robert Dennis in Yarmouth continued after that, including a death in 1685, so one is possibly the son of the other. If they are two men, they both seemed to have married women named Mary, and neither wife's family name is clearly documented. The third Robert Dennis was primarily in Rhode Island, but seems to have been present in Monmouth Co, NJ, (adjacent to Middlesex Co) at some point.

    Robert married Mary Island in 1642. Mary was born in 1621 in Rhode Island, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
