Searching for information on ASA M. DENSON (supposed to be half-cherokee indian, birth and death date not known. Married to JANE FITZGERALD, and had one son named JAMES DENSON, b. 1853. James was said to be married to MARY BRAZZEL/BRAZZLE of Jackson Co. (1870 census, Jackson Co.) and later married AVERY RAGER of Rosewood, KY. James and Mary had three children named WILLIAM B. DENSON, ROBERT LEE DENSON, AND LETHA C. DENSON. Letha is said to have married BUD FILPOT, and resided in Baxter, TN. I am under the impression that ASA was married more than once, and had other children by different wifes. Any information received will be greatly appreciated.
