My ggrandfather was named William Lafayette, later changed named to William Storm. Both he and a man named Washington Lafayette came to Angelina Country TX, about the same time. There was some confusion about deeds and stuff and he changed his middle name to Storm according to stories. I believe that Storm's father was named Christopher.
William Lafayette Denman aka Wm Storm born Sept 25, 1805 died Nov 16,1882 Tx, was my gg grandfathers youngest brother by their father's (Christopher) first wife Nancy Morgan Denman. He became a MD, married (Dorcas Parr) July 23,1829 then moved from Ga to Ms and lived on my gg grandfathers land with another brother Morgan. They had Six children one named after my gg grandfather (Felix Gilbert), another William Storm Denman born Nov 26, 1843 Ms., died Dec 7, 1917 Tx. After living in Ms they moved to La., In 1850 They we living in Township 22 Ward 6, Bossier, Louisiana (US Cenus) then on to Tx. I have read somewhere why William Sr was called Storm instead of Lafayette, but do not recall where it was.
My son-in-law, who lives in Austin, Tx, has a Denman connection. Washington Lafayette Denman, son of Felix Gilbert and Nancy (Hutchinson) Denman, I believe was his g or gg grandfather, not forsure which.
Some of the Denmans left North Western Georgia in the early to Mid 1800's, I think. They went into Meridan MS and maybe Grenada, MS and then to Bossier City, LA and then into what is now Angelina County,TX. Looking for confimation of this passage and to names of Georgia Denmans.
What are you looking for?, one person, or the Denman family in general? I am wondering if (from the way you are asking your question) you assume that they left Georgia and migrated towards Texas stopping along the way, but that is not the way that it happened. My gggrandfather lived in Ga but he and one of his brother owned land and lived in Ms for a few years, He (my gggrandfather) sold all his land and moved back to North Ga. The brother and another one of his brothers lived in Ms but later moved to Tx. You Can get confused easy with all of the names, that is why I left them out for now. Just let me know who you would like to find out about, maybe I can help. Thanks
