Death
Tennent died in Warminster in 1746, and his gravesite can still be found today in the church cemetery of the Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church. Tennent’s last will and testament is on record at the Bucks County Court House. It indicates that by the time he died he was still, humble servant of God, leaving what little he had to his wife Catherine (née Kennedy) Tennent. It is interesting to note, however, that Tennent was a slave owner; as his will indicates, he left "three Negroes" to his wife.
