He was very well seated in Stortford or Stratford, bur hearing of the then famous transplantation to New England, unsettled himself and recalling his son Daniel from Cambridge, removed himself and family in the year 1631 to New England, and brought over with him his son Daniel, then aged about 19 years, and two younger brothers, Edward and George, leaving oldest son, John, who had also been bred at Cambridge and was then a minister, married, with a good portion, and who lived about Pelham or in Harford shier, not far from Stratford, where they were all born. He was Vicar of Standon, County Herts, 1660 to 1670.

Notes for WILLIAM DENISON, JR.:
At about the age of 18 years must needs go a soldier into Holland in the year 1624, at the famous siege of Breda, when it was taken by Spinola and Count Mansfield, who had an army out of England to raise the siege, but the army miscarried and this William was never heard of again.
iii. CAPT. GEORGE DENISON I, b. 15 Oct 1609, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England; d. 18 Jun 1614, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England.
iv. MAJ. GEN. DANIEL DENISON, b. 18 Oct 1612, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England; d. 20 Sep 1682, Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts.
Notes for MAJ. GEN. DANIEL DENISON:
Daniel Denison came with his father to New England in 1631. The following is from the New England Historical and Genealogical Register of April, 1892, written by himself:
"I was the eldest of the three brothers that was brought to New England, and the next year after our arrival (viz.) in the year 1632, on the 18th day of October, on which day twenty years before I was bapt. at Stratford, and seven years before I was admitted into the University of Cambridge, I married Patience, the second daughter of Thomas Dudley, who was a principal undertaker of the Plantation of Massachusetts, and one of those first comers in the year 1630 that brought over the patent and settled the government. He came over Deputy Governor, and was afterwards at divers times Governor. Thomas Dudley then lived at Cambridge, but afterwards removed to Ipswich, where he stayed one year, settling himself at Roxbury, where he died July 30, 1653, and his wife died about 10 years before, the latter end of December 1643.
For myself, after I was married to Patience Dudley, I lived about 2 years at Cambridge, and in the year 1635 I removed to Ipswich, where we lived together without children till Jan. 16, 1640, when my son John was born, and two years and quarter after, Elixabeth was born, April 10, 1642; about nine years after another daughter, Mary, was born, and three years after Deborah, our last, was born."
v. SARAH DENISON, b. 07 Oct 1615, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England; d. 13 Oct 1615, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England.
vi. EDWARD DENISON1, b. 03 Nov 1616, Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, England1; d. 26 Apr 1668, Roxbury, Suffolk, Massachusetts.
Notes for EDWARD DENISON:
Edward Denison was married about the beginning of the year 1641, and lived the rest of his days at Roxvury in the same house his father built, lived and died in. Edward married March 20, 1641, Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Weld. He departed this life in April 1669, and left but one son, William, and five daughters, of all his large family.
3. vii. CAPT. GEORGE DENISON, SR., b. 10 Oct 1620, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England; d. 23 Oct 1694, Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut.
Generation No. 3
3. CAPT. GEORGE3 DENISON, SR. (WILLIAM2, JOHN1 DENYSON) was born 10 Oct 1620 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, and died 23 Oct 1694 in Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut. He married LADY ANN BORODELL Abt. 1644 in Naseby, Northampton, England. She was born 17 Mar 1616 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertford, England, and died 26 Sep 1712 in Mystic, New London, Connecticut.
Notes for CAPT. GEORGE DENISON, SR.:
This Capt. George Denison having buried his wife in the year 1643, went back to England the same year, where, as we learn from a letter of his brother, Maj. Gen. Daniel Denison, published in the April number of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register of 1892, in which he says: "My brother George was a soldier there above a year, was at the battle of York or Marston Moor, where he did good service, and was afterwards taken prisoner, but got free and married a second wife, Miss Ann Borodell, and with her returned to New England in the year 1645, and took up his abode again in Roxbury, Massachusetts, where he continued to live until 1651, when he came with his family to Connecticut and located himself at New London, Connecticut, where he resided until 1654, when he came to Stonington with his family to live, and remained there until his death, which took place at Hartford, Connecticut, Oct, 24, 1694." We learn from the records of Massachusetts and Connecticut that Capt. George Denison was not only distinguished as a civilian, but became the most distinguished soldier of Connecticut in her early settlement, except Maj. John Mason. His military services are on record in our Colonial archives where his eminence is recognized and portrayed. Also, you will find his name in the History of New London and Stonington, where his services are acknowledged and described in full. There is no date of the marriage of Capt. George Denison and Ann Borodell, but he was doubtless married in England. Pending their courtship and agreement was made between them, which was afterwards ratified and confirmed at Hartford, Connecticut May 3, 1662, as follows: "This witnesseth that I, George Denison, of Southertown, in Connecticut jurisdiction in New England, for and in consideration of a jointure due unto my now wife, Ann Borodell Denison, in consideration of the sum of three hundred pounds by me received of Mr. John Borodell, which he freely gave to my wife, his sister, Ann Borodell Denison, and I have had the use and improvement of and for, and in consideration of conjugal and dearer affection moving me, thereunto." This jointure agreement may be seen on the First Book of Connecticut State Records, in Harford, Connecticut, page 274. This recorded instrument is proof positive of the marriage of Capt. George Denison and wife, Ann Borodell, to say nothing of the births of their children and his will in his own handwriting bequeathing to them his entire property.
Capt. George Denison was captain of New London County forces in King Phillip's war, with Capt. John Mason, Jr., under Maj. Robert Treat, in the great swamp fight Dec. 19, 1675. Also served the next year in command of the forces raised by him as Provo-Marshal, who pursued the remnant of the Narragansett and Wampanaug Indians, and succeeded in defeating them and capturing the Indian Chief Canonchet, who was brought to Stonington, and on his refusal to make peace with the English, was shot. He assisted as magistrate to enable the Pequot chiefs designated by the English control the remnants of the Pequots. He was assistant and deputy from Stonington to the General Court for fifteen sessions.
The town of New London granted Capt. George Denison 200 acres of land in the Pequot-se-pos valley at Mystic in 1652, upon which he subsequently built him a dwelling house (May 3, 1663, it was raised), where in he and his family made their permanent, final home, known as the Oliver Denison house, and which stood a few feet west of the present residence of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Ford (1899). He died Oct. 24, 1694, and his widow died Sept. 26, 1712, aged 97, by the gravestone, which may be found in the Elm Grove Cemetery, Mystic.
