Hi Jean,
Yes, this is my line.
BUT, there is a mistake in this line.
Hoping someone in Izard county can confirm for me.

"John DENTON: Patriot - Pioneer" by David W TEMPLIN

"John DENTON was born 17 June 1759 in Dunsmore Co, VA. He was a son of
Abraham DENTON and Mourning HOGG. About 1775, John DENTON moved with his
family to the Watauga settlements, where he resided during the period of
the Revolution. He moved a short distance south to the Nolichucky
settlements about 1780, and then into what is now Cocke Co, TN about 1791.
. . .
In 1782, John DENTON married Mary MOORE, a daughter of James MOORE and
Martha DENTON, who was the second wife of Col John TIPTON. John DENTON
appears to have remained in the Nolichucky settlements until about 1790
when moved [to] what later became Cocke Co. He obtained two grants from
the state of TN for land on Cosby Creek. About 1812-1815 he moved to
Overton Co, TN where he lived until about 1820-1825 when he moved to Monroe
Co,TN, perhaps to land which he had fir
st seen while on the Indian
campaigns in 1776 and 1780. Little is known of the later life of John
DENTON. He died 5 July 1842, in Monroe Co, and may be buried in Hopewell
Cemetery. He was granted a pension for his service during the Revolution
as was his widow Mary in 1849."
=============================================================
I am a DENTON descendant, as well, but not from this branch. Mine is through
Rev. Ozias DENTON, born 1799, Cumberland County, TN, died Lawrence County, AR,
1852.
