Looking for information on the ancestors or further descendants of Absolum Dennis who was probably born or lived in Loudoun Co., VA as he married his first wife, Mary Wilson in Loudoun Co., VW. His family moved to Monroe Co., OH about 1832. At least 10 children (Alexander, Jesse B., Moses W., Ben F., Sarah, Absolum N., James W., Joseph T., John P., and Tasy Jane) were included in the family and were probably born in Loudoun Co., VA. After they settled in Monroe Co., OH, Mary Wilson had 5 more children (George W., Tamer N., Samuel S., David L., and Olive) and Mary died on 12 December 1846 in Monroe Co., OH. After Mary's death Absolum Dennis married Mrs. Jane Lockart (also found as Lockhard) and had 2 to 3 more children (Lemuel, Albert, and possibly a Stephen). The last child Stephen could also have been Absolum Dennis' grandchild (from a child from 1st marriage), but his relationship hasn't been proven either way yet. Absolum Dennis and Jane (?) Lockhart Dennis probably died in Monroe Co., OH. I descend from Lemuel Dennis, son of Absolum Dennis. Lemuel Dennis married Hannah Loretta Windland in Monroe Co., OH and had several children, most of which were born in WV. They (Lemuel and Hannah's family) moved back into WV and settled in Jackson and Kanawha Counties. One of these children, Cora Violet Dennis, married Levi Orlando Pickrell and had my grandfather, Claude Wilber Pickrell.
