John Denboe was born in 1640 at England. He married Jane Woodfield in 1682 at St. Stephens Parish, Cecil, Maryland, USA, According to Sandy Denbow Jameyson: St. Stephen’s Church was located in the Sassafras District. This was near the area of the Sassafras River, in Cecil County, Maryland. It is within this area that John and wife Jane owned or rented property. Their son Thomas settled up their estate after John’s death. Other Children were John and Jane. Jane married in the Bell Family.

Hi Carl,
Yes I did get the latest Blog, jut thought I would leave it to a more informed Denbow to draft the comments
I am a descendant of George and Effie Denbow. I just stumbled across your website and found it interesting. My cousin and I are trying to find out more info on our family. George and Effie Denbow are my great-great grandparents. William Frederick Denbow is my Great grandfather and his daughter Eleanor Lucille Denbow Davis is my maternal Grandmother. Do you have a formal family history in the form of a book? Or other resource? My grandmother said her father was Cherokee. But we are having trouble finding the evidence. Can you help? Feel free to call me at 918-809-9020 or 918-483-7010 or email is angiecypert@aol.com.
We have figured out that George was a Brown. There is a Mary Brown Myer/Meyers that as a blackfoot indian. Been trying to research George’s fathers side but cant figure out who that is.
Angie, thanks for your comment. I’m not sure what branch of the family your Denbows are from. I see your earlier post from 2014 that appears to have gone unanswered, unless I emailed you directly at that time. The only William F. Denbow I have is here: https://denbowtree.org/p27.htm#i1458
I don’t think that is yours, or is it?
Here are the George Denbows that I have:

Are any of these your George?
I also have one George Brown, whose mother was Mary Ann Denbow:

Is this your family?
If none of these are your family, I’ll need more information to try and figure out where you fit into the family tree.
I terms of the claim of Indian blood. This is certainly possible. However, I would caution that in about 90 percent of cases where there’s a family story of this type, DNA evidence proves otherwise. My youngest daughter’s father-in-law was sure that his grandmother was half-Cherokee. When he submitted a DNA sample, he had no trace of Native American blood at all. Ironically, I’ve personally never claimed any Indian blood, but a recent DNA analysis showed that I had a little over 1 percent “Amerindian” blood. No idea where that came from.
Thanks for posting.
Carl
Yes, that is the side. William fredrick, son of George and Effie, is my great grandfather. My grandmother failed to tell us about the “Brown” name. There is a Mary Brown that is a Blackfoot Indian. May not be the same one. Just found out last week, however the source isnt too reliable from what i can see as of right now. You did respond through email. I remember reading something in the newsletter about the native being from someone other than a blood relative but dont remember which one it is. I really do love ur webpage. I wish the Menighan and Meyers families had one like this.
Carl, I have recently had DNA done through familytreedna. My kit #is MK69777 just incase you are on there. My aunt is on there as well. Her name is Pamela Davis. Would like to see if we are a match. I’m still trying to get it figured out. Have a blessed one.
Carl,
According to the St. John’s in Baltimore parish records. A Nathan Butler married Rachael Denbow in October 1754. Are you aware of this woman?
