Tennyson Family


More is coming - just bear with me!


In the 1600's two families, the Cheshires and the Tennysons, lived in St. Mary's and Charles Counties., MD. William Cheshire married Mary Tennison and thereafter in most Cheshire families there is a Tennison Cheshire. Some even gave their daughters the name of Tennison. Several generations after the first Cheshire/Tennyson marriage my g-g-g-g grandfather James Jarvis married Sarah Cheshire in Rowan Co NC, 1813. They had a son, his name was Tennison Jarvis.
