New Eng. Hist. and Gen. Reg. vol 33 p. 109 Genealogies in Preparation: Dennett-by William H. Dennett, 260 Wash. St. Boston, Mass.:

There are two branches of this family descended from Alexander and John, who appear to have settled at Portsmouth. ---Alexander died at New Castle in 1698 and John at Portsmouth in 1709. The first of the names born in America was at Portsmouth in 1675. A third Dennett (Thomas) emigrated as late as 1715 to Philadelphia.
