William Denison of Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, left that country for the New World in April of 1635, with his wife Margaret Chandler, and three teenage sons: Daniel, Edward, and George. John, the oldest son, stayed behind in England where he was a minister, and another son, William, had disappeared years before to fight in Holland. George was the youngest, only thirteen when he left England. The older sons had been educated at Cambridge; this was not possible for George, so his father hired John Eliot to be his tutor.
William settled in Roxbury, MA where he was a merchant, and later became deacon of the First Church of Roxbury. He died January 25, 1653, at the age of eighty two or eighty three. Margaret died eight years earlier, at age sixty seven, February 3, 1645. They were buried in Old Eliot St Cemetery in Roxbury.

John Eliot, Pastor of the First Church of Roxbury and Apostle to the Indians was a tutor of George, his youngest son. Eliot had arrived on the same ship. William was a merchant and must have been a man of means and good education. He was deacon in the First Church of Roxbury, and had a large influence in the Colony.
