My dad's oldest brother was named Samuel Tennis Hughes. I have always wondered where they found the name Tennis. Oddly enough, I have found another Samuel Tennis. He is the son of Samuel and Morgan Tennis. These two have six children. One is named Rachel Tennis. Rachel married a man named Israel Hughes. Israel had a brother named John.
I found the family on Ancestry World Tree Project. They are from Montgomery County, PA.
Perhaps this is a new lead. It could of course be coincidence.
