DENSON / WHITTINGTON
Trying to locate death and burial information for Jordan (or JJ) Denson and Lucy Ann Whitington Denson.
Lucy died between 1910 and 1920, as Jordan is listed as a widower on the 1920 census in the Oneal Precinct,
Beat 3, Amite County, MS. Jordan is not listed on the 1930 census and since he was born in June 1857, I
assume he has already passed on. Lucy was born in Sep 1850. These dates are from the 1900 census, I have
very limited information on them and any information would be a great help. Jordan is the son of Marcus
Tullius Denson and Mary Smith. On one census, there is also an indication that this is his second
marriage, since he is on the 1870 and 1880 censuses with his father in Adams Co, I can only assume that
I've found his first wife, when he married her in 1870 in Adams Co. Since he married Lucy in 1895 in Amite
Co, I can only assume that that's where she was and that his first wife may have died in Amite Co as well.
The 1900 and 1910 censuses indicate that Lucy had no children and I find no information concerning any
children for him either. Although, I do realize that if he had a child who died around the time his first
wife did, there would not be any record, unless there is a stone in a cemetery. Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thank you for any information that you can locate. Please email me directly at

He married Polly EAST 26 Dec 1811 in Amite Co, MS, while living in Feliciana
Par, LA. He paid taxes in Hinds Co, MS, in 1822 before the area became
Copiah Co in 1823. He was in the Copiah Co census in 1830, where he paid
taxes through 1833.
The Rankin Co, MS census in 1840 shows a Vincent CHANCE which is probably
the same one, although the oldest female is not old enough to be Polly
