From English Origins of New England Families

Any lingering uncertainty as to the maiden name of the wife of William Denison (1571-1653) and mother of Daniel, George, and Edward, can at last be dismissed. On 2 April 1600 at Albury, the parish contiguous to Bishop's Stortford to the north, were married Margaret Chandler and Henry Monk, who was a native of the parish, judging from the frequency of the surname Monk in the parish registers. Monk was buried at Bishop's Stortford on 10 December 1602, leaving his widow, correctly styled Margaret Monk, free to marry William Denison at Bishop's Stortford on 7 November 1603. Daniel Denison was almost certainly unaware of his mother's first marriage to Monk and, by giving his mother's maiden name (Chandler) in his autobiographical sketch, unintentionally left behind an unresolved question, hitherto the cause of uncertainty about her maiden name.

From It's About Time

The church record of Rev. John Eliot, says of her, "It pleased God to work upon her heart and change it in her ancient years after she came to this capital, and joined to the church in the year 1632."
