Hi I am looking for information on this Newton County, Arkansas family. ALLEN & RACHEL TENNISON are my great great grandparents. He was born in Indiana, she was born in Alabama. He was in Newton County by 1843. Rachel was supposed to have been full blood Cherokee. Her surname is unknown and nothing is known of her family. My great grandfather was their son, ALLEN T. TENNISON who married NANCY RIGGS. Their daugher, ANGIELINE TENNISON married ROSCOE CONKLIN PHILLIPS. They are my grandparents. My parents are CHARLES MATTHEW MORROW and NANCY EDITH PHILLIPS. Any information of these families would be greatly appreciated.
