Right Michael,
Nancy Adams Tennison was a sister to my ggg grandmother Elizabeth Tennison
Carnahan.
Elizabeth Tennison Carnahan's husband Hugh Carnahan died leaving Elizabeth
with 8 children most of whom were still minors.
Solomon Tennison, brother of Nancy Tennison and Elizabeth Tennison, became
the guardian for the Carnahan children. When he moved to Missouri from
Tennessee they came with him and that is how my folks ended up in Missouri.
What I have shows that Cora Jones, daughter of Solomon Franklin Jones and
Margaret Louise Stevenson married Charles Jackson Russell.
As you indicated, most of the King burials can be matched up but I just
haven't been able to match those up yet.
Thanks for the help - I do appreciate it.
Take care - Emma

The King Family buried in this cemetery are the descendants of James King &
Nancy Tennison. Most of the ones buried in this cemetery are through
Solomon
King & his wife Permelia Isabelle Ross. MOST of the older graves have
been
linked to specific families, but these later ones have not. I will search
and see what I can find for you in my records. The
Russell family also has a connection through the Kings, I believe through
Solomon's sister,
Nancy who married Shedrach Jones.
Michael
