Thanks to Marion Paris Marriott for the following two pictures.
David Boone Denton, Marion's great-grandfather, was the son of David Barrow Denton and Elizabeth Wade Hodge Denton. A true "Renaissance man," David (1858-1927) was one of the first graduates of Vanderbilt University. He 'read law' and later practiced it, edited newspapers in Princeton, KY and Winchester, TN, and lived his last years in Nashville as a draftsman. His daughter, Lucile Denton Paris, is the grandmother of Marion Paris Marriott. Marion is named for Lucile's brother, Marion Gray Denton.
William Hodge Denton was a brother of David Boone Denton. Billy was born in the early 1860s and died in his late teens.
