| Notes for James Tennison -> Dennis |
| Several of his children - John, Levi, Nancy, George, Andrew, Daniel and Thomas - migrated at some point to Farmers Branch, Dallas Co, TX in the mid to late 19th century. Andrew married Sarah Webb, whose family is likely the ones behind the "Webb Chapel," the cemetery in which most are buried. |
| Notes for Parnina Gunnels |
| Living in 1860 next door to son George with two house servants (Dist. 7, Hshld 852). List as age 60. May not be the mother of the older children - some sources say m. James about 1822. |
