John Hillyer Denson, Sr., son of William Cicero Denson and Sarah A. Ford, married Sarah C. Box in Blount County, Alabama. She was the daughter of Stephens Thomas Box and Margaret "Peggy" Johnson.
John Hillyer Denson and Sarah Box Denson were adjacent to his parents in 1870, Morgan County Alabama. They had three children before their deaths: daughter Frances Denson born 1872 in Blount County, Alabama; John Hillyer Denson Jr. born 1873 in Prentiss County, Mississippi; David Booth Denson born 1874 in Alabama.
In 1880, children Frances and Booth Denson were with their grandfather Stephens Box in Blount County, Alabama; John Hillyer Denson, Jr. was with his aunt and uncle Louis Keller and Martha Jane Box Keller in Blount County, Alabama. In his Alabama death records, David Booth Denson's mother's name was given as Mary Box.? This seems like such a tragic family. I am unable to find the grave of Sarah/ Mary Box Denson.
