Henry Dennis (sheriff) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Dennis (sheriff)
Henry Dennis (Feb 1594 – 26 June 1638) was High Sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1629. He was lord of the manor of Pucklechurch, Gloucestershire. The Dennis family produced more Sheriffs of Gloucestershire than any other family.〔Sir Robert Atkyns, the historian of Gloucester, writing in 1712 stated that no family had produced more Sheriffs of this county than Denys/Dennis. Atkyns, Sir Robert. The Ancient & Present State of Gloucester, 1712.〕 Like many members of the Gloucestershire gentry he refused to take a knighthood at the coronation of King Charles I in 1625, for which he paid a composition of £25.〔Visitation of Glos., p.51, note 2, quoting Pell Office records〕 ==Origins== He was baptised in February 1594 in the parish church of St Thomas a Becket, Pucklechurch.〔Parish Records of Pucklechurch, Bristol Archives: FCP/Puc/R/1(a)1, folio 6: "Henry son of John Dennys esq."〕 He was the eldest son and heir of John “Dennys”(d.1609) the angling poet, by Elianor Millett, daughter of Thomas Millett of Warwickshire. He was aged only 15 on his father's death. The Denys family became established in Gloucestershire in about 1379 when Sir Gilbert Denys(d.1422) moved from Waterton, Bridgend in Glamorgan, Wales to marry the young widow Margaret Corbet(1352–1398), the sole heiress of her paternal manors of Siston, Alveston and Earthcott Green. The family name changed from its mediaeval spelling after about 1600 to Dennis. The earliest record of the family is in a Glamorgan Latin charter of 1258,〔Clark, George C., ''Cartae et Alia Munimenta quae ad Dominium de Glamorgan. Pertinent'', vol 3, Cardiff, 1891, no.972, pp.463-4〕 where ''Willelmus le Deneys'' appears as a witness to an exchange of land between Gilbert de Turberville of Coity Castle and Margam Abbey. This early form of the name in Norman French can be translated as "The Dane", and the name was generally Latinised to ''Dacus'', the adjectival form of ''Dacia'', the mediaeval Latin name for Denmark.
