Hi Elizabeth, That's always a thought. The references I have are for males. For example from Whaley bible record of my Seth Whaley and Elizabeth Richards Bowen: Elijah Tenant Whaley1, born December 24, 1835. See my post I referred to in the earlier email for the rest of their children: Janet Janet Is it possible that there is a spelling error or something, and the name should have been Jenet/Janet?

The spouse of Samuel Hopkins, a primary interest of mine, had a spouse whose given name was spelled "Tenot" in his 1741 Sussex Co. DE will. The only connection I have ever been able to concjecture for that spelling of her given name was "Tenant". However I never found a "Tenant" surname connection to support my conjecture. Maybe there's a better conjecture :-) Where DID the name come from in the above reference, and where did the Tenants (surname) live in the period (roughly) c1680-1710? Thanks for any fill in, if available. Joe Lake *************************************** QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING?
