That Samuel is a son of Jeffrey is taken from the writings of Nicholas
Wainwright but is not otherwise proved. In particular he is not
mentioned in the will of his grandfather although his presumed brother
Jonathan is. There is a Samuel Wainwright still on Bermuda in 1696 who
is listed among those in the Warwick Tribe making the oath of allegiance
to King William. There is also a Benjamin Fox on the list of oath
takers; he is from the town of St. Georges.The following is the abstract of a Philadelphia will which seems to make
Samuel Wainwright a beneficiary of Fox's estate. This adds some weight
to the supposition that the Samuel who died in Philadelphia in 1729 came
from Bermuda some time after the death of Jeffrey.FOX, BENJAMIN. Late of Bermuda, now of Philadelphia. Mariner.

information from Swathmore college church minutes
given in the book "Denman-Frisinger and Allied Familes" by Betty Pond Snyder, copyright 1887. Joseph is on page 34. He was son of William Denman 1747-1819 and Prudence Bedford (d 1836). William was a son of Philip Denman (b 1704) and Sarah Crane, p 32. Philip was a son of John Denman and Mary Gano, p 30. John was a son of John Denman b 1621 England, p 29. John was a son of John Denman and Judith Stoughton, p 27.
Be aware that there are some mistakes in this book. What was written in the 1911 History of Morrow County is in agreement with the above mentioned book, with the exception of William, son of John Denman and Mary Gano/Gannaugh. That book says William married first Lydia, then Abby.

From DENMAN Book U.S and U.K. 1385 to Pres
John Denman, b. 1621 in England; the first Denman in Salem Colony, Mass., with sister, Mary Denman. John married Mary Gano: their children John, Daniel, Joseph and Christopher; later married Mary Williams, two daughters.

From biographical sketch in the "1911 History of Morrow County"
John, sailed in the ship Dorset, via the Bermudas, to America in 1635. His destination was Boston, where Israel and Thomas Stoughton, brothers of Judith, resided. John Denman 1, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, was the original progenitor of the Denman family in America. THIS IS KNOWN

BIOGRAPHY: Jabez was 16 when he went, with his oldest brother Daniel, to New Jersey in 1667 (Note: Hendrick, p. 44, says that the year was 1677, which couldn't have been the case since he moved at age 16 and was married there in1677). New Jersey had been purchased from the Indians on October28, 1664; his uncle, John Pike, and two others received permission in May, 1666, from Governor Carteret to settle two townships. He was appointed constable of Piscataway in 1692.
