E-mail from Mary Jane Peterson, February 2002, Re: siblings of William Harrison Denning: Polly was blind and so were two other of their brothers , Albert and Job. Actually both Albert and Job were Deaf and Blind or Deaf and Dumb. I found this in researching them in the 1850-1860 census. I believe Albert went to Wasbash co. Indiana, and I am not sure if Job stayed in Brown Co. Ohio ( next co, over from Adams co.). William Harrison Denning went to Tuscola, Ill. in early 1850's and died there in 1898.
