3. Robert2 Denison (Capt. John1) birth date unknown.

He married twice. He married Joanna Stanton 1696. Joanna was born Stonington, New London, CT 5 Jun 1679. Joanna was the daughter of Robert Stanton and Joanna Gardiner. Joanna died 1715. He married Dorothy Stanton 1718. In the family group sheet for Dorothy Stanton's father, William Stanton indicates she married second John Frink. In Joanna Stanton's family group, William Stanton indicates her widowed husband married Dorothy Stanton the widow of Thomas Frink, Jr.

Dorothy was born North Springfield, Green Co., Mo 1891. She was baptized 24 Apr 1682. Religion:. There is considerable confusion about Dorothy's second and subsequent marriages. "Wyman's History of Charlestown and the Charlestown Church records agree that she married second, John Trerice, Senior, of Charlestown, who died soon afterward. Baldwin says that she married second John Frink Jr., who died in 1718; and third Robert Denison of Montville." "In a letter to me, written January 10, 1889, by Mr. Edw. D. Harris of New York, he says of the above record, - 'she was married a third time to a Frink - not I believe, John, but Thomas. The children of John Frink given in Baldwin had another mother - if I remember she was Grace. I can find no births or baptisms of any children born to her and Frink in Stonington - nor can I find the marriage record of the widow Dorothy Frink and Robert Denison. The Denison Genealogy states it as a fact, but the author, Rev. Mr. Clift, cannot give me his authority. However, our family tradition confirms the statement. In Montville, by Denison, she had the two children you quote - and there is a strong prabaability that she died in the family of her daughter Amy at Norwich, at a very advanced age - our family papers say 105.'
