| Notes |
- This family moved to Prince George Co., MD between 1744-45. The parents Ignatius Sr., and Elizabeth moved back to St. Charles in 1758.
We find records of Ignatius Tennison in Prince George's/Frederick Co. during the period ca. 1745-1755, and during this time there are no records of an Ignatius Tennison in Charles Co. Then we find records of an Ignatius Tennison in Charles Co. during the period 1758-1771, with no records of an Ignatius Tennison in Prince George's/Fredeick Co. Thus, it still is not clear whether Ignatius Tennison returned to Charles Co. or whether the 1758-1771 Charles Co. Ignatius Tennison is a new, younger man.

Comdent: This is the only record ever found for the name Ignatius Tennison in St. Mary's Co. Both the St. Mary's location and the relationship to Samuel Tennison suggest this is not a record of Ignatius #8, yet there is no other Ignatius to whom the record may be assigned.
July 1745 - The Charles Co., Md. administration account of Benjamin Robey shows that Robey's estate received a payment from Ignatius Tennison.

Nov. 1747 - Ignatius posts bond for his brother Justinian [#9.] in Prince George's Co., Md. Their surname is given as "Dennison." See the 1743-1748 record under Justinian for further particulars.
Nov. 1747-Nov. 1748 - Prince George's Co., Md. Court. Peter Wood vs. Ignatius Tennison. Jeremiah Chase, atty. for Wood; Henry Darnall, atty. for Ignatius. The Sheriff was commanded to bring Ignatius Tennison to the Nov. 1747 Court to answer a plea of trespass on the case that had been filed against him by Peter Wood. The parties appeared at the Nov. 1747 Court, and Ignatius requested a continuance until the Mar. 1747/8 Court. Additional continuances were sought and obtained by Ignatius to the June 1748, Aug. 1748, and Nov. 1748 Courts.
At the Nov. 1748 Court, the parties appeared and Peter Wood stated that he would not further prosecute the case against Ignatius. Therefore, the Court ordered that the case be dismissed, and further ruled that the said Ignatius
do recover against Wood [blank space left in the court record for the amount] pounds of tobacco for his costs and charges, and that the said Ignatius Tennison have execution. Source: Prince George's Co., Md. Court Records, Liber
