I have since learned that Adam Tener's 168-acre farm was purchased in 1813 from the Manning family who were the original purchasers from the U.S. Government on 10 Apr 1788.Adam would have been the first person to improve this property.In 1814, Adam was buying more land in Perry Twp, Wayne County - three quarter section parcels (160 acres ea) over three years, the last in 1816.He was the original patentee (see GLO records for Wayne Co, OH - Adam TENER).Adam and family were in the Wayne County Census for 1823 and on the tax rolls in 1825.They next appear in the Census of 1830 for Twin Twp, Ross Co, OH.
I am a descendant of Adam and Frances' daughter Matilda TENER.
