General Notes: Husband - John Tennent

---

He was a lineal descendant of the Reverend Gilbert Tennent, founder of the Log College in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He came to Allegheny Township, Venango County, in 1826 from Colchester, New London County, Connecticut. The journey from Albany to Buffalo by the Erie canal required two weeks; from the latter point a vessel was taken to Erie, and the remaining distance traversed by wagon. The family at that time consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Tennent and two daughters. Six hundred acres of land had been secured and within a few years a frame house was built. [HVC 1890, 539]
