Sources & Information:
Dennis Goodyear sounds like a mans name and perhaps in this case is really Denise.

In the Family Group Record that show Dennis/Denise as born about 1627, Of New Haven, New Haven, Connecticut. Then as Christened 9 May 1624, place Monkleigh, Devonshire, England. This places date of christening prior to date of birth and note location is probably in reverse of actual happenstance.
