The following letter from Ben F Denton of Perry Co TN indicates that Benjamin Denton the son of Samuel Denton was a cousin to Samuel Denton the son of Abraham Denton III. So if this letter is correct then that would prove Samuel Denton and Abraham Denton III were brothers:
Mr. H. Denton Dear Sir Peters (?) Landing, Perry Co., Tenn Aug. 1, 1895
Yours of July 10 to hand contents in reply will say that I will endeavor to answer all questions and give you all the information that is in my power to do, in regard to the Denton families in my knowing.
As to myself and family, my grandfather's name was Ben Denton. He came from White Co. Tenn to Hickman Co. thence to Perry. He died somewhere about 50 years ago in Miss., I think Marshall Co. My father was born in White Co. Tenn. in 1801, his name was Sam Denton, and also my father's grandfather's name was Sam. My father left White Co. at 11 years old to Hickman Co. thence to Perry Co. in 1817 to Cedar Creek, was the first man to build a mill on Cedar Greek. He had 9 children, 4 boys, Abner, John, Ben, Isaac, daughters, Jane, Milley, Sallie, Mary. I have 3 sisters living. Milley married one David Bunch; he is now dead leaving widow, 2 children - Thomas and John Bunch. Sallie married John Bunch; he is dead, leaving widow and 7 children, 4 boys and 3 girls, Geo., Howard, Wm., Jim, Mary, Sarah, Martha. Mary married George Bunch; he still lives, has 7 children, 3 boys, Anderson, George, John, daughters, Sarah, Jane, Joshua, Alsey. Ben (the writer of this letter) born 1837 and now 59 years old, have 5 children living, one daughter Mary married W. B. Gulp. R.L. and John are my boys living.
There was another Sam Denton who lived and died on Cedar Creek, was a cousin to my grandfather and was older than my father. He married Eunice Conger, had 6 children, 2 boys and 4 girls, Tipton, Elijah, Betsey, Eunice, Sallie and Tempey.
I have heard my father speak of "Big Jerry and Little Jerry Denton". I had three uncles, father's brothers, Isaac, Jefferson, and Shipman, 2 aunts, Sallie and Rebecca. Aunt Sallie married John Bird, moved to Bell Co. Texas and was killed there by the Indians, was in command or bunch or soldiers in 1853. Rebecca married Ben Hensley, died in N.0. with yellow fever about 1830.
I do not remember any of the Moores except James Moore and Bettie Moore (Bettie was his wife's name). My father called her Aunt Bettie. She has grandchildren living on Cedar Creek, P.O. address is New E ___, Perry Co. Aunt Bettie Moore has a granddaughter living near Linden, Perry Co. married to a man by the name of Leghue Peavehausr.
There is also another Tom Denton living in this Co. His father was named Ben, P.O. at Linden, Tenn.
As to your Uncle Sam Denton, I have told you all I know in the above. I will here state who my father married, a Miss Argent Coleman; she was born in South Carolina. Hope to hear from you again and that I might get up other information that would likely be beneficial to you and that I might be able to learn something of the Denton family myself.
Yours,
Ben F. Denton
