Son of Charles Dennett and Hannah Nutter. After Charles' death, Hannah married Charles Hodgdon. She had children with both husbands, including Moses Dennett and Charles Hodgdon, who are half-brothers buried here with their families.
Moses Dennett, son of Charles Dennett, was born in 1758, and died December 28, 1810, in Barnstead, New Hampshire. His homestead at Barnstead was on high ground looking towards Gilmanton. He removed there from Portsmouth about 1769, and was a tailor by trade. His house of logs stood on the spot now occupied by his descendants. For a considerable time after moving there he brought all his provisions on horseback from Dover, following a blazed trail through the forest. The house stood deep in the woods and in his absence he usually left a small boy with his wife. At one time the boy, becoming tired of the lonely life, ran away to his home in Dover, leaving Mrs. Dennett alone in her cabin for several days and nights to be entertained by the howling wolves and the bleak storms of winter. Moses Dennett had an excellent farm, which has descended for four generations to the present occupants. He was in the revolution, in Colonel Dike's regiment, enlisting September 8, 1777, discharged December 15, 1777. He married Betsey Nutter.
