Our Lineage Early Photos More Photos Dunoon Scotland Mr. William Denune Site Map
Doctor William Denune is the first in our line. He came to Maryland after 1721, shortly after he graduated from medical school in Paris, France. "Denune" is a Scottish name, we believe he came to America from Scotland, or perhaps from France after receiving his education. In 1738 Dr. William Denune paid for the burial of, and was listed as the closest living relative of a James Denune. We don't know what relationship Dr. William Denune had with James, who could have been his father, brother, or cousin. Did James come to America with William? Here is more info on James and an inventory of the Estate of James Denune.
Dr. William Denune was an early southern colonial portrait painter. This could be a painting of one of his daughters. This painting is signed, William Denune 1735.

Several years ago I sent a letter to all Denunes/ DeNoons listed in a data base of 50,000,000 (that's right, fifty million). There were about 200 of them in all. Less than ten responded. One of these responses was from Rev. David Denoon, a distant cousin, follow the hyperlinks below. Harold DeNoon also responded, and has invested a great deal of time and research in our family line.

Below is a great link sent to me by Rev. David Denoon, who added a lot of Denune/ Denoon lineage to this GEDCOM file. Type in Denune or Denoon in the lower search box (the upper search box takes you to rootsweb.com), and see how we are related.
