Athanase (Tennos, Tenos, Tannos, Tanos) was a native of Canada, born near Toronto and came to Berrien Co. as a boy with his parents. The family home was established near Bainbridge Twp. MI. Tennos moved from Brainbridge Twp. to Sodus Twp. to occupy and cultivate a farm which his brother Luc (Luke) purchased, while Luke continued to follow the river.
