Notes for Lydia Smith 1st Wife

Can anyone tell me why Capt. William Avery Morgan, b Nov 24, 1754, and his wife Lydia Smith should have named their eighth child Denison (born Oct. 29, 1790, married Ursula Brainard)? I've looked through his ancestry - no Denisons that I can find, and of Lydia Smith, all that is said is that she was the daughter of Nathan Smith of Groton, and that she died Jan 4, 1804. They also had a Griswold and an Avery. Avery makes sense... not Griswold or Denison, though. Can anyone tell me (about) this Lydia Smith's background?

Thanks,
Nancy
