There are two branches of this family descended from Alexander and John, who appear to have settled at Portsmouth. Alexander died at New Castle in 1698 and John at Portsmouth in 1709. The first of the names born in America was at Portsmouth in 1675. A third Dennett, Thomas, emigrated as late as 1715 to Philadelphia.

DOB reported by Roxie HOLLAND-MORITZ to be 1663.
Email from Dave Best lists Alexander's birth year as 1660, death year as 1733 and marriage year to Mehitable Tetherly as 1691. It also lists Mehitable's death year as 1691 which may not be correct based on birth years of children.
