NOTES:
Most
information and verification comes from a gg-grand-daughter of John W.
TENNISON's, Julie Stroud. I want to thank her for helping me to know my
"lost" family, that I never knew about until I was 43 years old. For
more information on the TENNISON's or Julie, please contact marykell@aol.com
