FOR EWORD

TH E DEN M A N BOO K does not attempt to give records of all

e a e e a all e ea D nm ns , though it is w ll und rstood th t p rsons b ring a a e a e de e e the a e e — th t n m h v sc nd d from s m kind of sourc , from

- e a e man . e e are a a and a a a an d som D n Th r m ny in Engl nd C n d , in the United States whom we cannot reach ; an d of many others we ﬁnd only such fragments of records as are of little practical

a r v lu e . No records a e here presented which do not deﬁnitely

lead from a particular ancestor . Much time an d labor was given to the collection of Denman

e . a e Woodru ﬁ e . ffa o . r cords by Mr Ch rl s Wooll y , Sr , of Bu l , N

e ee e e a The further collections hav b n s cur d from v rious sources . direct family descent has been found for a large group of Den mans who did not know who were their ancestors ; an d some

e smaller gaps have been ﬁll d . And very recently discovery has been made of many de scen dan ts of two brothers who went from New J ersey to Georgia

n h in Revolutionary times . a d were lost to t e knowledge of their

kindred . This has c au sed delay in publication ; but it is hoped that no

on e will regret it .
