Additional Info for George Tennison

I’ve been researching my family tree since 2008. I can only trace my first line paternal grandfathers back to the third great grandfather George Tennison. There seems to be a lot of undocumented information about him.  Some refer to him as George W Tennison or George Washington Tennison. Also census records show his birthplace as Kentucky but some researchers show him born in Tennessee. A couple have added parents and siblings. But none of the researchers can provide proof of the information.

I’m wanting to find proof of his full name, place of birth and Father and Mother.

I’ve exhausted every Avenue I know of. It was suggested that someone here may be able to break the log jam.

Thank you in advance for any help!

This census of 1830 shows Robert Tenison aged of forty and under fifty. Might be his father. There's also a John Tenison of forty and under fifty.

George Jenison

in the 1830 United States Federal Census

Name: George Jenison [George Tenison] [
]
Home in 1830 (City, County, State): Warrick, Indiana, Skelton
Free White Persons - Males - 20 thru 29: 1
Free White Persons - 20 thru 49: 1

This census lists John Tenison at aged 50 and under sixty. He's in the same county as George in 1840 in Indiana, Warrick, Shelton. That would suggest they are related. It is not proof.
