    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.

    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.
