Early life, education, and career

Dennis was born July 21, 1786, at "Beverly" in Pocomoke City, Worcester County, Maryland,[1] the son of Henry Dennis and Anne Dennis (née Purnell).[2] Dennis was tutored at home.[2] He thereafter attended Washington Academy of Somerset County, Maryland, and graduated from Yale College in 1803. He studied law, was admitted to the bar, and commenced practice.[1][2] Dennis was a nephew of John Dennis (1771–1806) and cousin of Littleton Dennis Jr. and John Dennis (1807–1859).[1]

Political career

In 1810; 1815 and 1816; and again from 1819 to 1821, Dennis served as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates.[2] He was a member of the executive council of Maryland in 1829.[1] From 1827 until resigning in 1833, he served in the Maryland Senate.[2] Dennis was elected as an Anti-Jacksonian to the United States House of Representatives in 1832 and served from March 4, 1833, until his death in office in 1834.[1] Dennis affiliated himself with the newly-founded Whig Party.[2]

Dennis was a presidential elector in 1812, 1824, and 1828.[2]

Personal life and death

Dennis never was married and had no children.[2] He died April 14, 1834, while in Washington, D.C. and was interred in the Congressional Cemetery there.[1]
