Denis was born to William and Ellen, (O'Connor) Cahill in Colonial Maryland.
They were patrons of All Saints Episcopal church. Denis married Griffith Buseys' (Bucey) sister Diana(Dinah) Busey. They went to Pennsylvania where they farmed. He signed the Oath of Allegiance in Montgomery Co., MD in 1776. He took the Oath of Affirmation of Fidelity and Support to the State in Montgomery Co., MD in 1778.1 He was in his father's will in Montgomery Co., MD in 1782. He was on the tax list in Montgomery Co., MD in 1783.
Denis migrated to Nottingham, Harrison County, Ohio. The area was inhabited by friendly Native Americans, many of whom were Christian. Denis died the last year of the American Revolutionary War. The American Revolutionary War brought the demise of these first settlements. The Native Americans, "Delawares", who at the time populated much of eastern Ohio, were divided over their loyalties, with many in the west allied with the British out of Fort Detroit and many in the east allied with the Americans out of Fort Pitt. Delawares were involved in skirmishes against both sides, but by 1781 the American sense was that the Delawares were allying with the British. In response, Colonel Daniel Brodhead of the American forces led an expedition out of Fort Pitt and on 19 April 1781 destroyed the settlement of Coshocton. Surviving residents fled to the north. Colonel Brodhead's forces left the Delawares at the other Moravian mission villages unmolested, but the actions set the stage for raised tensions in the area.
