  • Notes 
    • This Shadrick (Shadrack) is of a younger generation than the one named as a son of John Sims Tennison. Given the same unusual name, born in same county as the older Shadrack, and migrated to the same place in KY as other family members, it strongly suggest that this is the son of the early Shadrack. Of course one must consider that the possibility that this younger Shadrack could be a son of one of Shadack's brothers and simply named after him.
      Note that the older Shadrick did not leave Virgina like most of John Sims Tennison's family. No additional information is known on additional descendants.
