Rev. Lewis Henry Denman

Moses is the only one of this family of whom any succeeding record is found. He married Mary Manasmith, and settled on a farm in Delaware Co., Ohio, where their one son, Lewis Henry, was born. When this son was but an infant, Moses Denman started to Virginia with a drove of horses and mules to sell. He was somewhere waylaid, and was never heard of afterward by his family. His wife sold the farm in about a year, and went to her relatives in Mason Co., Ky., where she died soon afterward.

The orphan son [Lewis Henry] found home and friends; was educated in college at Georgetown, Ky., and became a Baptist minister. He was born December [1], 1840, and died at Granville, Ohio, January 12, 1902.

On August 26, 1862, he was married to Sarah Frances McCarty, who still survives him [1913], at Granville. They had six children:

• William Wallace, born in August, 1863, and died at West Union, Ohio, February 8, 1884
• Mary A., born June, 1865, married in 1884 to J. W. Bradford of Rossmoyne, Ohio
• Bertha Ellen, born June, 1867, and died January 26, 1884
• Lucy Emma, born February, 1872, and died January 24, 1904
• Ida Gilmon, born June, 1874, married J. F. Reason, of 33 East Blake Ave., Columbus, Ohio, and has a son,
  • Philip Denman, born June 28, 1907
• Lewis Henry, born December, 1877, married Annie L. Matthews of Nacogdoches, Texas, and has:
