Mary and Gene, I live (right now) not too far from the TENNIS/LUKENS family cemetery, and recently went there to take photos of the LUKENS names specifically. There are many TENNIS family names from Ambler, not too far from this plot. And I personally know some of the still living Lukens from the area. Some of the stones were hard to read, others weren't' too difficult. If you are interested, I will put the photo's up on a website for you to see them. Vince Summers is also looking into this family (LUKENS) as he is the one I took the photos for. Perhaps he knows the connections you are seeking.
