20. XII. MAGDALEN b. June 4, 1696, at Roxborough. She married William Tunes, alias Tennis. She died prior to May 10, 1736, as she is mentioned in the first will of her father, Wigard, as deceased. Mr. Jones states: "A Release, dated Feb. 13, 1751, recites that 'Samuel Tennis and John Tennis, grandsons of Wichert Levering," had received the Legacy of Ten Pounds bequeathed by Wichert Levering to his son-in-law, William Tennis. They are described as ' of Towamencin Township, in the County of Philadelphia. Nothing further has been discovered of her posterity.'

It will be observed in this volume that I have discovered and gathered numerous descendents to Samuel and other children to Magdalena. (69) pg. 106 - LEVERING FAMILY HISTORY AND GENEALOGY. BY COL. JOHN LEVERING, 1897, Indianapolis

Children of (20) Magdalena^ (Levering) and William Tennis.

69. I. John : died in early manhood, as appears.

70. II. Samuel : m. Morgan ; d. in March, 1803, Towamencin Tp. He left a will dated Nov. 27, 1802, in which he describes himself as a "yeoman, advanced in years." The will was proved at Norristown, Pa., Apl. 5, 1803. The bequests made to children and grand children indicate a considerable estate, both real and personal. The names of these beneficiaries furnished me clews to his descendants. (184)

The will of Wigard Levering bequeathed " unto my son-in-law William Tunes," a sum of money for which "Samuel Tennis and John Tennis, grandsons of Wigard Levering," receipted on Feb. 13, 175 1, which suggests the decease of their father prior to that date. The sons were, doubtless, born after 1720. Why they changed the spelling of their surname is not known. They lived in Towamencin Township, in Philadelphia County, which, in 1784, became a part of Montgomery County, Pa.
