• This Capt. George Denison having buried his wife in the year 1643, went back to England the same year, where, as we learn from a letter of his brother, Maj. Gen. Daniel Denison, published in the April number of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register of 1892, in which he says: "My brother George was a soldier there above a year, was at the battle of York, or Marston Moor, where he did good service, and was afterwards taken prisoner, but got free and married a second wife, Miss Ann Borodell, and with her returned to New England in the year 1645, and took up his abode again in Roxbury, Mass., where he continued to live until 1651, when he came with his family to Connecticut and located himself at New London, Conn., where he resided until 1654, when he came to Stonington with his family to live, and remained there until his death, which took place at Hartford, Conn., Oct. 24, 1694."
There is no date of the marriage of Capt. George Denison and Ann Borodell, but he was doubtless married in England.
2840, p 337• Anne Denison, named in the will of John Borodale, can be none other than the second wife of Capt. George Denison of Stonington, who came, a lad in his teens, in the Lion 1631, a fellow passenger with the Apostle Elliot. He grew to manhood at Roxbury, where his father was deacon. He there married Bridget Thompson, who died early, leaving two daughters. Denison returned to England, participated in the unhappy wars, then prevalent, and was wounded at Naseby, where he served under Cromwell. In his wounded condition, he was attended by a daughter of the gentleman to whose house he had been carried. On recovery he married the lady, who was Ann, daughter of John Borodell, as the name has been usually spelled here; again came to Roxbury and dwelt there till 1651, when, in the interest of Massachusetts, then claiming the eastern section of Connecticut, he removed first to the Pequot river and finally in 1654 to Stonington, then called Southertown, was appointed “clerk of the writts” and commissioner. After the absorption of the whole territory by the colony of Connecticut, Denison remained at Denison, where he led a life of the most active and distinguished character, in both civil and military affairs. As a soldier, no citizen of his day was more conspicuous, excepting only John Mason. He died at Hartford in 1694, in his 76th year. His wife, Ann Borodell, long outlived him, dying in 1712 at the age of 97.
