   "The Denison family had been established in England for many centuries, the name being on record in counties Norfolk and Cambridge as early as 1273. In 1379 Robert Denysson was named in the Poll Tax of the West Riding of Yorkshire. Both Denise

   and Denis were highly popular as baptismal names in France. In addition to a suggested origin as a font (first or baptismal) name, Denison, Dennison, and other variants, may be from the Anglo-Saxon 'Denisca' or Danish.

1. Note: "There is evidence of his having lived in Bishop's Stortford as early as 1567."
2. Note:

   The Denison Coat of Arms features the following: "Arms--Argent, on a chevron engrailed gules between three torteaux, an annulet or. Crest--A dexter arm erect vested vert, the hand proper grasping a scimitar. Motto--Domus grata <Beloved home.>

   (Americana, 487)

1. Note:

   "The two coats of arms read the same, ie., the charges are the same. The shapes are different and the crests also are different. The crest on Maj. Gen. Daniel Denison's grave is a helmet, color steel, arm green. The other crest is a dexter or

   right arm bent, clothed in green, holding a sword. Arms--Argent (silver) the red is the chevron, the scallops around the chevron are the engrailed gules; three torteaux, three black cannon balls; annulet or (gold) medal. On the Daniel Denison

   coat of arm you'll notice that the color of this shield is gold instead of silver as in the other one and that the chevron is blue."
