Book excerpt: Excerpt from Denny Genealogy, Vol. 3: The Descendants of David Denny, Sr. Of Pennsylvania and the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and Allied Families of Brunk, Campbell, Davis, Gaither, Guthrie, Hubbard, Lockhart, Lunsford, Stone, Washington, Weller and Many Others Of David, Sr., in order not to omit descendants of married daughters. Customary abbreviations saved additional space. Lists of children are printed in smaller type, as is done in many Of the best genealogies. When these space saving devices still proved inadequate, we decided to carry forward to the next generation only those children of a couple who were known to have grand children. Thus, in many cases, all descendants Of a couple are printed as a part of that couple's biography, placing whole groups in their family setting. We hope that these devices, which have allowed us to include every name sent us, will meet with approval. A summary of the descendants of David, Jr., with references to First Book for details, is also given. The result is that every discovered descendant of David Denny, Sr., is encompassed in this one volume. We have used the Same system of numbering throughout the Series. Consult the Index for the desired name. Turn to the page number. Each person known to have children and grandchildren is assigned an Arabic number, used first under the parents and in the next generation it heads the biography. Children and grand children are listed under their parents in order of birth and are given a Roman numeral. By following Arabic numerals back and forward a complete direct lineage may be found. Thirty years has gone into gathering and writing this record. We inherited corre spondence our grandfather, Col. William R. Denny, of Winchester, Virginia, had with others of the family, who were as ignorant as he Of their original ancestor, David Denny, Sr. Our father, Bishop Collins Denny and aunt, Mrs. Mary Denny Campbell, left us some correspondence on the subject. We also had access to the record written by Judge Robert Denny, Of Indianapolis, which was printed in 1886, in C. C. Denny's Denny Genealogy in England and America. With this Slender material as a starting point our search began. We have visited most of the great genea logical libraries On the eastern seaboard and some as far west as Chicago. Archives in government Offices in Washington, DC, and County and State Archives in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Vir ginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana have been closely searched. For points farther west we have depended on helpful members Of the family clan. We have corresponded withpeople in every state of the Union. In Second Book we were pleased to mention by name persons, not connected with the family, who had been helpful. To these Should be added Miss Lulie Davis, Secretary Of Washington County Historical Society, Salem, In diana, who efficiently planned for our visit to that County and gave hours of her time and attention helping us with our search. We must also especially thank Eugene E. Vann for his editorial criticism. The patient and loyal endurance of our husbands and children has sometimes been strained but never broken. Without their co-operation these books could not have been written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
