Absolom and Lydia Castleman Tennison are buried in a Lawrence family cemetery on Rocky Fork Road in Rutherford County, Tennessee.Also Lydia's brother, Dallas, called "Unk" is buried there.We have been in a big hassle over that cemetery since January, 1998.A contractor bought the lot the cemetery was
on and proceeded to uproot the stones, bulldoze the fence and haul everything off.This was done even though Wil was telling them to leave it alone and hired a lawyer who told them to leave it alone.After itwas destroyed anyway, we sued and it eventually wound up as a Civil Action Suit.Last Spring, we settled for a little under $50,000.00.But the cemetery still has to be put back in some order to perpetuate the memory of those buried there.It will be in the front yard of the home they built there and the lady who bought the house is also suing the contractors.However, she knows that the cemetery is going to be put
back and is agreeable to having it there (not that she has any choice).Wil has many relatives buried thereand was very proud of the cemetery.To date, the money is still in the hands of the lawyers and of course, they will get most of it but there will be enough to put the cemetery back with flat bronze markers and
another large stone marking the cemetery.Also a wrought iron fence.We are hoping that we will be able to begin renovating it as soon as the weather gets better and the money is released.Just thought you might be interested in this since your grandparents are buried there.

Dear Mrs. James
Your December 12, 2000 e-mail regarding family history research on Andrew
Jackson Tennison, Sr. has been referred to me.
A search of our records indicate that Absolom did marry Lydia Castleman and
Andrew married Sarah Owen.Perhaps on Andrew's death certificate they
mistakenly put his wife's maiden name (Owen) instead of his mother's maiden
name (Castleman).Also, because the 1850 Census records list Andrew as the
son of Absolom and Lydia and the census birth year and death certificate
birth year match proves that Andrew is the son of Absolom and Lydia.
While researching our records I found a cemetery record for Lyddia Tennison
in the book Rutherford County, Tennessee Cemeteries Volume 1, prepared by
Stones River Chapter S.A.R. and Rutherford County Historical Society, at the
Lawrence Cemetery, birth date June 22, 1817 and death date November 10,
1903.Also, in our family history collection I have aTennis/Tennisson/Tennyson family history published in 1991 by Faye T.Davidson and donated to our library by Dorothy Norman Carl, 111 BosleySprings Rd., #510, Nashville, TN 37205.It is 156 pages and referencesTennisons of Davidson and Williamson Counties in Tennessee.You may want to try and contact Dorothy Norman Carl about this family history.
