Letters from Roy and Margaret Denson:
(1) Thanks for all of the information. I know we are getting closer to my
husbands family but his grandmother died when his father was very young
maybe about 5, 6 or 7 years old. And Josh was raised by his mother's sister
which I believe is Mattie Jackson. I also saw this information in the
census, and my husbands great grandmother was Nancy Williams in the 1930
census she lived with her daughter Molly we know some of Mollys grand
children but they were too young to remember Josh mother's name, Josh had
two sisters that we knew of Mattie she is listed in the census as Mitt her
nickname, another sister was name Lelia M. Williams last we heard of her in
1960 she was living in Brooksville Fl. Have not been able to find her or her
daughter Gwendolyn Fields. Mattie we know she died in 1984 in Edison Ga, She
was living in Syracuse, NY but she moved back to Ga. But I will give Willie
C. a call he just might know something. James you just don't know how much
you are helping me pull this all together, I appreciate IA a whole bunch!

(2) I am excited about all the
information you have online for me to look at. I am trying to fine my husband
people on his fathers side of the family his name is Roy Denson his father was
Josh Denson. A lady by the name of Mae Susie Sheddrick in Edison, Georgia told
us that they are related to the Petersons and Wakefields. My husbands father was
very small when he saw his father he did not know if his name was John or Tom
his father was not married to his mother. As I mentioned Roy's great grand
mother was named Nancy Peterson we are not sure of a married name but we are
told that it may have been Bennett or Hutley or Hudson, she had a son by the
name of Thomas Hutley or Hudson I am not sure of some of the pronunciations of
the names I hear, she had a daughter name Mattie, they called her Mitt, another
daughter name may have been Lelia Mae and she had a daughter name Gwendolyn
Fields. On the message I mention Clarence Peterson live in Hollywood but he
lives in Miami, Fl his brother Roosevelt live in Hollywood. Nancy also had a
sister by the name of Molly she raised Josh Denson. My husband and I live in Ft.
Lauderdale, Fl. With what I have given you so far maybe you can help us tie our
roots together. I am looking to hear from you real soon.
