1. DENIO, (DENIUER, DENYO, DENAYON) JAMES, a French- man from Canada; was one of the "Three Frenchmen" noted by Mr. Williams, in the Redeemed Captive, as living here at the de- struction of the town, Feb. 29, 1704; with his bride of three weeks, he was carried to Canada, from whence they never returned; it is probable that James was from the parish of Boucherville, where he established himself on his return. His wife became a Romanist and was baptized May 28, 1708, O. S., by the name of Abigail Margaret; she had for god-father De Vaudreuil, the governor of Can., and for god-mother, Margaret Bouat, wife of Antoine Pocaud, one of his generals. He was m.

Aaron was brought up by Stebbins and inherited the greater part of his estate. He learned the trade of shoemaker, but was for many yrs. a noted tavern keeper in Gfd., on the lot now occupied by the Odd Fellows' block; he served under Capt. Sam'l Barnard, in Father Rasle's war; was a corp. at Fort Mass., 1748; ensign in Can. cam- paign 1756; in 1730 the Gen. Court granted him 200 acres of land " for losses and sufferings in the war;" in 1756 Gfd. voted him £4 "for beating the drum for meetings on Sabbath and other oca- sions;" he was a decided "character " in his day, and many funny stories are told of his eccentricities; he d.
