Ross Malone tells us that the Denne family is descended from the Vikings who invaded Normandy and who settled part of France, then moved north to England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland.

Other Events:

• Occupation: Lord Mayor, Canterbury, England

Notes:

According to land records Peter, Sr. became a large landholder in Bedford County. By 1830 he had acquired "Rose" farm of 209 acres from
Frederick Beltz and then sold it to his son, Peter, Jr.. Also by 1830 he had acquired Abraham Miley's "Fancy" tract of 369 acres, McClellan and James - Waltman tract of 553 acres, and "Nosegay" of 209 acres. A total of almost 1,000 acres. He is also listed as owning a Grist Mill on 283 acres in southern Friends Cove just west of Rainsburg. The ruins of the mill race and mill structure are apparently still known as "Morgart's Mill".

Morgart Tavern was licensed for operation around 1770. It was one of the first hostelries on the Forbes Road. The present 14-room building was erected in 1791 of stone quarried nearby. Morgart's was a regular stop for stage coaches traveling Forbes (and later the Great Pennsylvania) Road. Stage coach drivers and cattle drivers slept in a loft above the tavern's kitchen. Private property.

The Morgart Tavern was constructed with stone from the quarry on the property. The quarry was located behind what is now Juniata Trading company. The tavern is made of two-foot thick stone walls, and it contains 14 rooms, with 4 fireplaces downstairs, one upstairs, and one in the summer kitchen. The current kitchen was once a loft where stage coach drivers and cattle drovers slept. Located directly adjacent to the Morgart Tavern is a smoke house/spring house combination, with the unique feature of having a concrete roof and wooden chimney. (Source: Koren B.
