Dorphin Dennis

(Abt 1790 - 12 Feb 1867)

Dana's History of Woodstock, Vermont, says "The house on the top of the hill coming up from Deacon Boyden's place stood formerly on the west side of the road, near the house where Jason L. Darling lives. It was built, it is supposed, by Dorphin Dennis, who was married to Mary Rogers, December 1814, and took up his residence here about the same time. After a while Mr. Dennis moved the house across the road, and here his son, Horace T., was born. In the spring of 1848 Mr. Dennis removed the house to its present site, and occupied it till his death."
