Event Notes Note (1) It appears that Hardesty's "History of Doddridge County," in his listing of the soldiers of Co A, 14th W.Va. Inf, misidentified Lewis Maxwell Dennison as William R. Dennison. We have found no record of William R. Dennison in Doddridge or surrounding counties or in Civil War records. Note (2) Although death record states her birthplace as Doddridge County, her marriage record shows it as Lewis County. Note (3) Burial location given in death record as Cox Cemetery, but headstone for her and her husband is at Upper Little Indian Fork Cemetery. Note (4) Widowed. Also in household was grandson Wesley Dennison. Note (5) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Jul 1867. Note (6) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Oct 1877. Date on headstone is 1876.
