Notes:
Sometimes seen as Catherine, or Emmaline, or Catherine E.
Emaline is listed as 12 years old in the 1860 census, born in Alabama
Not seen in 1850 census
-- MERGED NOTE ------------
Seems like a confusion with Emmaline. The 1860 census does not list a Catherine, but does list Emaline as 12 years old, born in Ala.
To me, this hints that Emmaline & Caroline are the same person.
Birth:
Could have been in Mississippi or Alabama. Both are recorded in the Census

Notes:
PARENTS: In the 1880 census, he reports that his father is from Maryland, mother from Scotland
His age suspiciously drops in the 1880 census. I expect having a new, young wife might have something to do with this.
Ref: [,1970,gm1]
John W. Tennyson was a doctor.
According to a typescript produced maybe in the 1950's, the family came to MS from KY in about 1850. The Tennysons (Tennisons) were originally from the "old country" Wales. The first families settled in Kentucky. Dr. John W. Tennyson was from Kentucky. His wife, Ann Malinda Biggers, was from Alabama. They lived in Kentucky about 10 years before coming south. Dr J.W. and Ann M. Tennyson came to Alabama and stayed about 5 years, then came on to Mississippi, Pontotoc County about 1850. In 1856, the settled in Choctaw County. According to the 1880 census, J.W. Tennyson's father was from Maryland and his mother was from Scotland. Subsequent research has not shown this story to be terribly accurate.
Census records show that J.W. Tennyson was in Lauderdale County, Alabama in 1850, Pontotoc County, Mississippi in 1860 and Choctaw County, Mississippi in 1870. 1860 shows that he has $1800 of real estate, but I cannot find any deeds in the index for him in Pontotoc County. Would real estate in Alabama be recorded in the Federal Census? He does not appear in the Slave census. Non-Population Cenus are not available for MS.
I do not believe they married in Kentucky. There is no reason for the Biggers to be in KY.

Notes:
CONFLICT: 1870 census records her as being from SC, some sources record it as AL.
Either the birth date or the marriage date is not right for Ann Malinda Biggers. She would have been only 11 at her marriage, and that's awfully young.
