Chapter History

Elizabeth Denton was born in 1771, in New River, Virginia.  James English  had served in the American Revolution as a Private.

 

James and Elizabeth were the parents of 10 sons and one daughter.  All of the children settled in Texas between 1818 and 1830, when the widowed Elizabeth arrived. She applied for and received a land grant in 1830. She then had the land issued to her minor son.

 

Her descendants still live in Texas, many of them in Wood County.  Four of her descendants were charter members of this chapter .
