William Denning

William Denning (born April 1740; died October 30, 1819) was a United States Representative from New York. Born probably in St. John's, Newfoundland in April 1740, he moved to New York City in early youth and engaged in mercantile pursuits. He was a member of the Committee of One Hundred in 1775, was a deputy to the New York Provincial congress from 1775 to 1777 and was a member of the convention of State representatives in 1776 and 1777. He served in the New York State Assembly from 1784 to 1787 and in the New York State Senate from 1798 to 1808. He was a member of the council of appointment in 1799, and was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Eleventh Congress, holding office from March 4, 1809 until his resignation in 1810, never having qualified. He died in New York City in 1819; interment was in St. Paul's Churchyard.
