Joshua's son, James Booker Tennison (pictured above), served in the Confederate army during the U.S. Civil War.
In 1891,
James Booker's eldest son, James Morgan Tennison, and Henry Booker "Jack" Tennison (the original "Tennison Brothers" of sheet metal fame), began to manufacture sheet metal products in a humble metal shed attached to the back of their hardware store in Mount Pleasant, Texas.
This enterprise was the beginning of sheet metal manufacturing by the two Tennison brothers.
Although they continued to maintain warehouses in Houston and Dallas, the Tennison Brothers later moved the headquarters of their business to Texarkana, Arkansas.
The original Tennison Brothers sheet-metal manufacturing business continues to operate, with branches in Memphis, TN, and in Wichita, KS.
