The only Benjamin Dennis I can see on Cornwall opc is
at Sithney
1747 Dec 6 DENNIS Benjamin s Henry & Ann
At Camborne there is the marriage of
1753 Jan28 Nicholas FINE & Jane CARTER
and their children - I cannot see a burial for first Elizabeth so would
presume the first to be a private baptism and the second admitted to
church.

Another Carter popping up.
A son of Benjamin is named Henry so maybe after his father.

If this is your Benjamin Dennis post #2 born 1747, then he is said to be the son of Henry Dennis born 1723 and Ann Trevithick born 1723. Looking a FS tree and working back, Ann Trevithic is descended from my Gregory Trevithick 1615 and Dorothy Pryor 1626. 
Possible distant relative of mine is your Benjamin Dennis.

I haven't found anyone else yet.
Some of the children that I have found married those with the surname Harris. At some point I shall have to see if the Harrises were related to each other.
The son of Benjamin and Elizabeth liked the name so much that it did carry through a couple of times.
My line is through Ann the daughter of Elizabeth and Benjamin and she is probably on this site somewhere.

Where there's a will there's a way!
At Sithney, Henry Dennis married Ann Trevithick 1746 Jan 1.
Henry is buried in 1764, just one year following the baptism
of their last child.
I cannot see either a burial or a re-marriage of his widow, Ann
at Sithney However there is a burial of an Ann Dennis, widow at
Camborne who is a candidate. That together with Benjamin's
age at burial at Cambourne in 1838, matching his birth date
at Sithney and his wife Elizabeth's age at death matching her
birth date as Elizabeth Fine, suggests either widow Ann Dennis
moved to Cambourne because son Benjamin was there or she
moved there taking a young Benjamin with her!

Although many years later.there is a death on 04 Jun 1894 Ann Dennis at Camborne and the executor or administrator is J Carter Registry Bodmin.
Is there any point in getting the will?

Our families are getting ever bigger.Ann Trevithick 1723 who married Henry Dennis and parents of Benjamin Dennis was the daughter of Gregory Trevithick and Ann Richards. Ann is the sister if Richard Trevithick 1730 who is my 5xgreat grandfather. So Ann is my 5xgreat Aunt, or something like that.So @Genie1 we share some ancestors.
Are your Trevithicks related to Richard Trevithick 1771 - 1883? He was the inventor of the high pressure steam engine.

Yes, I can confirm that. I have checked Ann back through
all the Gregorys to the marriage in 1611!
So @Archie's Mum and @Genie1 are distant cousins!
I cannot see any connection to the Engineer in that tree.

Yes and so are yours. He is there in the tree but way back. I did find him once. His father was also Richard, son of John Trevithick, who is descended from Gregory Trevithick and Dorothy Pryor, these two are in my tree.Our families are getting ever bigger.

He goes back to Gregory Trevithic 1614 and Dorothy Pryor

Well yes, Gregory and Dorothy had just two children,
Henry 1647 Jan 17 Wendron and Gregory 1651 Nov 30
Wendron.
Gregory marries Christian somebody 1688 Aug 16 Sithney.
They have 3 children, Christian 1689 Sep 2 Sithney,
Gregory (lost my notes but baptised and buried 1692 Wendron)
and Gregory 1693 Feb 11 Sithney.
Father Gregory dies 1712 Sithney, Will transcript and Inventory
available on Cornwall OPC, Henry mentioned.
A Will for Henry listed on Cornwall OPC for 1727 Sithney. Have
you got that Will @Archie's Mum?
So Engineer could well descend from him.

Gregory and Dorothy have 4 children, Henry 1647, Gregeory 1651, Christian 1653, and John 1663.
No, dont have a will at all.
To make it a little easier my GGGrandmother was Jane Trevithic. She married George Nancarrow. Her parents were Henry Trevithic and Elizabeth Tonkin. His father was William Trevithic and mother Mary Courage. Williams parents were Richard Trevithic and Charity Pryor. Richard was the son of Gregory Trevithic and Ann Richards. Then we have Gregory Trevithic and Christain?

Which area did the Nancarrows come from? I have a Nancarrow that married an Osborne . Both from Redruth. Died in Silverbow .Montana.
Jane Carter wasn't related to Hannah Carter that had daughter Amelia Jane Carter who married into the Beare family at Camborne.
Posts about both families are on this site.

Samuel Nancarrow marriage to Julian Martyn 1691 Illogan, their son George Nancarrow born 1733 Illogan.

All of these the son or daughter of Gregory except the last
which is Gregory & Ann
I will look again at the further children of Gregory & Dorothy,
I think I saw that in trees but don't trust them, just use them
as a guide.
Recently doing the Cannon family of Babcary, found a Baptism
on 1752 of a John and two marriages for a John, one to a Mary 1777
and one to an Ann 1776. All 80 trees on Ancestry chose the latter.
All 80 trees are wrong as I can show from Deeds.
The reason is a parish the family frequently used has lost its
Registers prior to 1813!

All I have used for this is Cornwall OPC. Looking at all their
listings for Wendron 1647- 1664, it is apparent the transcriber
struggled! If so they have Christian Gragson daughter of Wm
for 1653. There are other possible children including a Dorothy
in 1658 if they are that poor! Are the originals on Familysearch?
