SOURCES: 1830 Gwinnett County, Census,1850 Census Benton Co., Alabama,

NOTES: Benton County was changed to Calhoun county in 1858. Later Cleburne Co.,
was formed in 1866 from Calhoun, Randolph and Talladega Counties. The family may not
have even moved to be in Benton co., in 1850, Calhoun in 1860 and Cleburne in 1870.
According to the Cleburne Co., Heritage Book, Sarah ELLIS was the mother of Sitha/Sithy
TENNISON, who married John Thrower. Which lends credence to the fact that Sarah/Susan
remarried to Benjamin Ellis in 1858. It also states that Sitha's father was Mathias Tennison.
Thanks to my "cousins" Julie and Earlene for the sources and the notes on the TENNISON's.
