      His research showed that this Zachariah Tennison had been in Union County, SC 1790 at the same time as Abe LeMaster. He was connecting his Zachariah to our family because of Sarah LeMaster marriage to John Tennison. through their son Henry Tennison, JohnSims and Henry b. 1755 Lincoln Co., TN who married Peggy Alley. As stated above this is the incorrect lineage for this Zachariah.
