I have been doing family history on various members of the Tennant family in Colorado. In
the 1900 census for Gilman, Eagle County, Colorado, I found a "Dan Tenant," born
June 1876, in Scotland, who came to America in 1885, and was working as a silver miner in
1900. Later, I found reference to a Daniel Tennant, born June 29, 1876, birthplace not
given, who registered for the World War I draft in Esmeralda County, Nevada. These
references might be to the same person.
Also, in the 1920 Census for Aguilar, Las Animas County, Colorado, I found Annie [Tennant]
Twadell, a widow. When her son, Michael Twadell, died in 1945, the newspaper obit listed
his surviving mother, Annie Twadell of Tonopah, [Nye County,] Nevada. Annie Tennant, born
October 4, 1867, in Scotland, came to America in 1885 and married an Edward
Twaddle/Twadell in 1886.
It's not much, but maybe there's a connection.
