EIGHTH GENERATION
William and Susanna Tenney
Married April 24, 1806 in Weare, NH

Susanna and William married in 1806 in Weare, New Hampsire and they resided in Lot 28 Range 4,(3) "Occupying a house built by Jonathan Marble, a Quaker, in 1770"


164. William Tenney was born in 1784 in Rowley, MA. He died on May 22,1849 in Weare, NH. He was buried in Stockbridge, VT. at South Hill Cemetery.(3)

165. Susanna Bailey was born about 1780 in Dunbarton, NH. She died on Jun 20, 1833.

The Swett-Allen book indicated that Susanna was the child of Benjamin Bailey and Mehitabel Johnson.  However, it seems that there were multiple Susanna Baileys in the area at the time and the Susanna who is the child of Benjamin and Mahitable most likely married a man named Mellon and had a daughter whom she named Mehitable Mellon.

That would leave 

Susannah Bailey daughter of Samuel and Hannah, born 10/15/1734 in Weare (not Dunbarton, which is what is on her childrens' birth certificates, and with an h at the end of her name)

Children were:
child82 i. Rev. Timothy Jackman Tenney. (1/22/1807) 
child81 ii. Elmina Tenney. (12/5/1808)
William Bailey Tenney (6/26/1814) William named one of his daughters Susanna Bailey Tenney after his mother
