Generally the known children of George and Mary are Catherine, Joseph, and Mary Ann. Mary Ann was born in 1815 5 years after George and Mary were married.
Many families established private cemeteries on their property and the Teners were no exception. One of the people in the cemetery is John C. Collins ('Names in Stone'). I found a marriage record for John C. Collins and Margaret Tener on April 25, 1833 in First Methodist Church (St. Paul & 22nd St.), Baltimore County, Maryland (Maryland Marriage record). Her second husband was Cornelius Brown married December 24, 1837 Methodist Episcopal Church (Baltimore City Station), Baltimore County, Maryland (Maryland marriage record) about a year after John Collins died.
Since Margaret was the name of George's mother I think there is a strong likelihood that this Margaret is the first born of George and Mary Tener. The house and original farm have passed out of the family. The headstones have been removed from the cemetery although the graves remain.
From what I can tell, Unless he had other children perhaps with an earlier wife, none of George's children married and had children and this branch of the Teners is the end of his line.
George was the only one of John and Margaret's children who did not move to Ohio.

Gravesite Details
Actually buried in the Tener/Hooper family cemetery near Taylorsville. Cemetery no longer exists. Private property owners cleared the plot & removed the stones in the late 1980s. Stones were not replaced & might have been moved to another site.
