John Dennys
John Dennys (died 1609), a poet and fisherman, pioneered Angling poetry in England. His only work ''The Secrets of Angling'' was the earliest English poetical treatise on fishing. John Dennys may have been an acquaintance of Shakespeare. ==Early life== John Dennys was son of Hugh Dennis (died 1559)〔〔 of "Plucherchurch" and Katherine, daughter of Thomas Trye of Hardwicke, Gloucestershire.〔〔 Sir Harris Nicholas reported that he was the younger son of Sir Walter Dennys of Pucklechurch and Agnes Danvers or Davers, and ''The Secrets of Angling'' was written a century earlier than believed. Ellacombe claims that Sir Walter and Katherine were his great-grand parents. The author of the article claimed that Ellacombe had the correct genealogy of author John Dennis. The introductions of the 1883 and 1885 ''The Secrets of Angling'' editions state that it is believed that John's father was Hugh and his mother was Katherine Trye. Watkins, his biographer, said that Ellacombe's account was "correcting Sir Harris Nicolas's account".〔|group="nb"}}〔 Hugh's father John had been the heir of Hugh Denys of Osterley, Middlesex (died 1511), Groom of the Stool to Henry VII. John's elder brother Henry, died without having fathered any children.〔〔
