Jean Hunter Denning (1869-1924)

Mrs Jean Hunter (Denning) Sexton

Her father, Edwin James Denning, of New York City, was bequeathed $10,000 in the will of the "Merchant Prince of America" Alexander Turney Stewart (1803-1876). In the same year, Mrs Stewart sold her husband's dry goods business for $1 million to the trustee of the estate, Judge Henry Hilton, who continued the business under the name of E.J. Denning & Co. In 1893, at Grace Church, New York, Jean married Samuel Braman Sexton (1869-1903) and they lived at the spectacular Drayton House in his native Hyde Park which he had renamed "Torham". They died without children.
