    Notes:

    "I believe there were three Dinning brothers who came to Orange Co., North Carolina, from Londonderry Co., Ireland, in the 1750s to the early 1760s. Those three brothers were Andrew, David and James. I believe that before they lived in Ireland that they may have lived in Lanark Co., Scotland."
    Source: "The Denning Family of Sumner Co., and Their Kin", by Mike Denning, Page I
    We believe the basis for the DINNINGs coming from Derry Co., Ireland comes from the Revolutionary War Pension Application of David DINNING, Jr., son of David DINNING Sr.
    In David DINNING Jr.'s Pension Application, (# S30992 - copy in possession) 19 Aug 1834, David states he was 18 months old when he came with his parents in [Nov] 1762 to Orange Co., North Carolina, from Derry Co., Ireland. David came to Sumner Co., Tennessee, in the fall of 1799.

    1. James DINNING was born about 1720; died after 1798.
    2. 6. Andrew DINNING was born about 1730 in Derry, Londonderry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom; died between 1775 and 1785.
    3. David DINNING was born about 1730 in Derry, Londonderry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom; died in Feb 1808 in , Orange, North Carolina, USA.
