Denis Onan

My earliest documented ancestor is Denis Onan. He was born ca. 1720, most likely the grandson of Jean Onan. In 1743 he was living in Bucks County PA, where his daughter Mary was born. Denis also had 3 sons, Dennis, born 1748, William (my line), born 1753 and James, born in 1755. There may also have been a daughter named Rebecca born in 1750.

The family moved back to Virginia and was well established there by the year 1776 and in that year Denis signed a Dissenter's Petition.
