Changed the spelling of the last name because Columbus and Alma were the only ones in their family using the spelling, Tenison on their headstone. Another spelling also used at Forked Oak is Tennyson and they are all related.

Children listed on the 1910 Census were Daisy, Lois and Cleo. Children listed on the 1920 Census include the 3 above and now Clyne, Merce, Ilene and Ishmel. One more daughter would be added on the 1930 Census, Myra Quay.
