Thomas Denman
Manuscript heading: Colonel Denman
- Born: About 1790 South Carolina
- Died: December 5, 1842, Madison Co, MS
Thomas Denman was born in South Carolina to William and Sarah Denman. His father died in Marion County, Mississippi in 1814, an area that later became part of Pike County. Denman served in Nixon’s 13th Regiment from January 3 to April 2, 1815. The unit disbanded after the Battle of New Orleans and the end of the War of 1812 at Fordsville, Mississippi. The colonel title seems to be another social promotion by Claiborne.
