Bobby, I have a LOT more information and I'm confused too.I can't even make a good guess as to who is Gower's father yet but the will or estate of Richard H. Dennis has to turn up somewhere.I'm on my way to Hanceville, the genealogy Dept. at George Wallace Comm. College which is the first LDS Family History Center not in the Church, to order microfilm that I hope will help. I learned yesterday that Richard Gower Dennis probablly served in the Rev. War under Gen. Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox.They had no records bacause they were organized under the Britishes nose and as you might be aware were possibly the first to use gurilla tactics.There are records that Richard G.Dennis contributed food to them at any rate which qualifies his descendants for the Sons or Dau. of the Rev.I will continue to post info as I get it typed,I have a LOT of transcriptions in longhand to add. I ran across a source yesterday that said the person mentioned had his land confiscated but that it was restored.I assume that means he was accused of being a Loyalist.Can anyone recommend a source of information on confiscations in SC after the REV. War? -- Dwight David Dennis,1014 Ski Lodge 3,Birmingham,Al.35209 [email protected],http://www.concentric.net/~Dddennis/surnames.htm ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
