    Notes:

    Ignatius middle name was either Nevil, Newil, Navie, or Nevin. All are seen from time to time.

    According to a the tax collection to build the first school house and pay a teacher in Green County, KY (about 1803-1806). The tax collector searched for each male in the area and collected $1. It appears that the tax collector went down the Little Barren river looking for males. The first farm North of the Green County line on the Little Barren river had two males living there alone, Richard N. Atwell and Ignatius Tennison. The second farm North of the Little Barren river was James Forbis and his wife Phoebe Bryan. She was the daughter of William Bryan and Mary Boone. William Bryan was the brother of Daniel Boone's wife and Mary Boone was the sister of Daniel Boone.

    In the will of James Forbis. Richard N. Atwell and Ignatius Tennison,neighbors of James Forbis watched him write his will and signed it as witnesses. In the will James Forbis divided up all his land and slaves among his children. It stated that he owned land on both sides of the Little Barren river. It named which slaves each child would receive.James Forbis left his wife nothing except the right to live on his land the rest of her life.

    Richard N. Atwell and Ignatius Tennison left Sarah Tennison in Caswell County, NC before 1803 and went to Green County, Ky and purchased land on the Little Barren River just North of the Green County line. They built a home and started a farm there. In 1812 they both returned to Caswell County, NC to get Sarah Tennison and all their possessions and bring them back in wagons to Green County, KY. Neighbors and relatives in Caswell County heard about it and joined the wagon train back to Green County, KY (thirteen wagons in all through the Cumberland gap).

    On any good map of KY you can find the Little Barren crossing the Green County and Metcalfe County line near Sulphur Well, KY. Metcalfe County was not created until 1859. The Little Barren river at Sulphur Well is about 20 feet wide and you can cross it without getting your knees wet. However, back in 1803 that water may have been very valuable.

    Richard N. Atwell and Ignatius Tennison also started a church called the Shady Grove Meeting House at a point on the map called Shady Grove. That church is now call the Shady Grove Baptist Church.
