After his death, his widow Elizabeth Denman and young son John Denman were defendants in a chancery suit brought by the plaintiff Ann Gresham Mackworth, widow, regarding messuages, cottages, and lands in Over Ordsall, Nether Ordsall, and Thrumpton, "late the estate of Thomas Denman deceased" and agreed by him to be sold to Mackworth [Calendar of the Proceedings in Chancery in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth (1830), vol. 2, p. 195, sub M.m.3.
