• Notes

  Zenas is recorded sometimes as Zenas T. and sometimes as Zenas I.Tennyson. We believe his middle name was Ignatious. According to Pushmataha County Cemeteries, Zenas is buried in the Antlers Cemetery next to his wife and near his daughter. For reasons not at all clear,in the 1910 Pushmataha Co., OK census, Zenas is ennumerated as Jessie. This could be a transcription error since a transcription rather than the actual record was viewed.
