Caution		The mother of David's illegitimate child is not recorded. It is possible that the Dennis Donham who died in 1756 was David's illegitimate child. If so, his mother could have been a Dennis. Sarah is the most likely one as she is otherwise unattached.

Caution		Parentage is not proven but descendnents of Dennis match YDNA with those of David's cousin, Samuel. It is possible that Dennis is the unnamed illegitimate child of David and Sarah Dennis. There seems to be no other accounting of Sarah or Dennis. And the Robert, Sarah and Mary named in Dennis' will could have been his cousins, children of Sarah's older brother, Samuel.
