• Residence: 12 Sep 1915, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma
• Residence: Feb 1927, Hinton, Caddo County, Oklahoma

Notes:

1910 Census Record indicates U. A. "Liss" and Callie were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had two children living with them, Walter "Buster" who was 4 and Albert "Buck" who was just 16 months. Callie stated that she had given birth to two children and both of them were living. The Census also shows that Liss was a blacksmith and operated his own shop.

1920 Census Record indicates Ulysses "Liss" and Callie were living in Lawrence Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had 6 children living with them, Walter "Buster" 12, Albert "Buck" 10, Archie 8, Ethel 6, Ruby 4 and Alma who was just 3. The Census shows they rented their home and Liss was a farmer. Archie was mistakenly listed as a daughter on this Census. Maybe they had so many kids running around they confused the Census taker.

1930 Census Record indicates Ulysses "Liss" and Callie were living in (Hinton) Quanah Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had all 11 children living with them. Ulysses was 45 years old, Callie 40, Walter "Buster" 24, Albert "Buck" 21, Archie 19, Ethel 16, Ruby 13, Alma 12, Ray 10, Joe "Pod" 8, Charlie Leon 5, Laura Viola 3 and William "Bill" was just 4 months old. The Census much more information: They were renting their home and lived on a farm. Liss and Buck were farmers and Buster was a truck driver. Archie, Ethel, Ruby, Alma, Ray and Pod were in school in 1929. Buck and Buster were married but there is no mention of their wives living in the home. Unlike the 1920 Census...Archie was listed as a son and not a daughter.

DAR file number 840385 and death certificate show Callie's birth place as Addington, Oklahoma, however I had in my records Indian Territory, Addington, Oklahoma. Addington was not incorporated as a town until 1901, 11 years after her birth. I need to order a copy of her birth certificate to confirm this.

I also need to see if I can confirm the difference between the place of their marriage from my record of Mud Flat, Indian Territory, Oklahoma and the DAR record of Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory.

• Census: 1880, Fannin County, Texas
• Census: 04 Jun 1900, Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri

Notes:

April 12, 1898, Obediah went to Forney, Kafman County, Texas, possibly visiting his father who moved there from Tennessee. He wrote Laura, his wife, a letter from there on this date. Juanita (Clower) Kirby Wells has this original letter.

Deleted: 1890 Census Piney Township, Texas County, Missouri. I don't know where I got this information. I usually don't put in a Census record unless I have it. I could not locate it... In case it comes up again.

1900 Census indicates Obediah was living in Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri with his wife Laura and 4 children Ulysses, Alta, Cassie and Belle, they could all read, however Laura and Alta could not write. It shows Obediah and Ulysses were farmers and they rented their home.

There may have been an illness in Texas County when Obediah passed away because Obediah and Laura had a 6 month old daughter who died just 2 months before Obediah and he was only 38 years old.

After Obediah passed away Laura let a man have hold of her property he sold it and moved her out to Cabool MO. Alph and Liss found a place at Claude called Hat Top Mountain east of Duncan and they sent for her and she came with the younger children with the exception of possibly Alta who married in Bado. Cassie Harrison Bevis

Received from Marie (Jones) Bradley need to locate original record. Source and notes have not been added to each child:

Obediah married Harrison, Laura E on 06 Dec 1882 in Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri. Laura (daughter of Harrison, Audley B and Hargis, Hannah Elizabeth) was born on 14 Feb 1862 in Bado, Texas County, Missouri; died on 07 Feb 1927 in Faxon, Comanche County, Oklahoma; was buried in Lot 51 A Pecan Cemetery, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Census: 04 Jun 1900, Morris Township, Texas County, Missouri
• Census: 25 Feb 1920, Stephens County, Oklahoma

Notes:

1900 census indicates Laura gave birth to Seven children but only 5 were living.

Interview with Cassie: Soon after Laura's husband Obediah Harrison died in 1901-1902, Laura and her children moved to Oklahoma Territory. Laura lost the farm in Missouri. I have heard something from a couple of people, including Juanita Wells, that there was a man who cheated Laura out of the farm. Cassie said something about Laura losing the farm also. She said Alph was about 17, Liss was about 14 and Laura sent them on horseback from Texas County Missouri to Stephens County, Oklahoma to find a place for them to live near her brother who lived there. After Alph and Liss found a place, Laura moved to Stephens County with the girls.

Should be able to locate 1910 census showing Cassie and Belle still living with Laura.

1920 Census indicates Laura was 58, a widdow, and living in Wall Township, Stephens County, Oklahoma with her single brother Bynker who was 54. The Census shows Laura owned her house which was free of mortgage, she was in the farming truck trade and could read and write.

Cassie remembers her father George W. Harrison sending Alph and Ed to Laura's to help them with the farm. Alph didn't like it, he didn't like farming, but Ed didn't mind.

OBITUARY:
MRS. L. HARRISON IS BURIED TODAY MOTHER OF ALF HARRISON, 11 MILES SOUTHWEST LAWTON, DIED MONDAY
Mrs. Laura Harrison, 65 years of age, passed away Monday afternoon at 1:50 at the home of her son, Alph Harrison, who lives 11 miles southwest of Lawton. Besides her son, Alph, she is survived by another son, U. A. Harrison of Hinton, and two daughters, Mrs. Alta Wheeler of Duncan, and Mrs. Cassie Anderson of Friday, Texas. Both sons and Mrs. Wheeler are here for the funeral. Mrs. Harrison is also survived by three brothers who reside in Missouri.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at the residence at 1:30. Rev. Walter Jones, a Baptist minister of Faxon, conducted the services. Burial was made in Pecan Cemetery with Ritter's in charge. The family has the sympathy of their friends in their bereavement. (The Lawton Constitution, Tuesday, 08 Feb 1927, p. 1).

OBITUARY:
FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. HARRISON
Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock at the home of Alph Harrison, a prominent farmer residing eleven miles southwest of Lawton, for his mother, Mrs. Laura Harrison, who died Monday afternoon, Rev. Walter Jones, officiating.
Mrs. Harrison came to live with her son twelve years ago from Duncan where she lived with a daughter several years. She was an earnest Christian, was loved by all who knew her, and her friends sympathize with the family in her passing. U. A. Harrison of Hinton, her other son, was here for the funeral, as was her daughter, Mrs. Alta Wheeler of Duncan. Her other daughter, Mrs. Cassie Anderson of Friday, Texas, was unable to attend.
The funeral service was well attended, several cars of relatives and friends were present from Duncan and surrounding communities. The pallbearers were William Blair, Frank Hill, Waller Jones, Chester Hood, W. L. Carr, and G. D. Fawley. (The Lawton Constitution, Wednesday, 09 February 1927, p. 3).

DAR file number 840385 indicates Laura died in Lawton, Oklahoma, however Zula Juanita Harrison remembered Laura living with her family in Faxon, Oklahoma, just a few miles south of Lawton. This area was previously known as Lawrence Township, Pecan Cemetery is there where the majority of our Harrison and Hennessee family is burried and hundereds of our family once lived there. Obituary confirms Laura died in the home of her son, Alph Harrison, 11 miles southwest of Lawton, which is Faxon.

Notes:

1870 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Warren County, Tennessee and he was a farm labor and she kept house. It also states Ezekiel was 21, Victoria was 17 and they did not have any children yet.

1880 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Kaufman County, Texas with their two youngest children Sallie who was 7 and Thomas who was just 1. It also states Ezekiel worked on a farm and Victoria kept house. The Census shows a 16 year old black male, Kendrick Rofe, living with them who was a domestic servant.

1900 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Nocona, Montague County, Texas and they had five of their children living with them Thomas who was 21, Virginia who was 17, Callie who was 10, Nora who was 7 and Samuel who was 3. They also had a nephew, George Hennessee, who was 14 and born in May of 1886 living with them in addition to a 29 year old male servant Joe Lawrence. The Census states Ezekiel was a farmer. Sallie died of Yellow Fever sometime before 1890. Callie, who was born in 1890, did not recall having a younger sister sallie.

1910 Census Record indicates Ezekiel and Victoria were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had two children living with them, Jennie who was 27 and single and Sam who was 15 and single. Victoria stated that she had given birth to five children and all five of them were living. The Census also shows that Ezekiel was a farmer and owned his own farm.

"The Hennessee Family in America" by D. A. Hennessee states:
Ezekiel was a blacksmith and a woodworker.

"Prairie Lore" by The Southwestern Oklahoma Historical Society, vol 10 number 2, book 38, Oct 1973 an article written by S. N. Hennessee states Ezekiel "Jake" and Victoria moved to Vanzant County, Texas. Their two young children (Sallie and George) died there of Yellow Fever.

There is no record of George being a son of Ezekiel and Victoria, however the 1900 Census Record indicates a nephew, George Hennessee. There is also no record I have been able to locate of Ezikiel and Victoria living in Vanzant County, Texas.

Ezekiel married Rodgers, Victoria about 1870 in Warren County, Tennessee. Victoria (daughter of Unknown, and Unknown,) was born on 19 Dec 1853 in Warren County, Tennessee; died on 14 Jan 1913 in Tinney Township, Comanche County, Oklahoma; was buried in Old Lot 35 B Pecan Cemetery, Lawton, Comanche County, Oklahoma.

Notes:

I received the last name of Victoria "Rogers" from Marie (Jones) Bradley. Since then I received the death certificate of Callie Adeline Hennessee which was transcribed at the time of Callie's death by her daughter Laura Viola (Harrison) Rodgers and entered into her family record book. This transcription spelled Victoria's last name as "Rodgers". I do not know if this spelling is correct or if Viola was just used to spelling it with a "d". I will try to order the death certificate for Callie and Victoria to verify this informtion. Confirmed Callie's death certificate RODGERS.

1900 Census indicates Victoria gave birth to 14 children but only 5 were living on June 6, 1900.

Notes:

1850 Census indicates Audley Jr. was 8 years old on September 27, 1850.

1870 Census indicates Edly (Audley) Harrison was 26 living in Warren County, Tennessee on August 6, 1870 with his wife Nancy who was 25, son Obediah 7 and daughter Sarah who was 5. The Census also shows Edly was a farmer and Nancy kept house and she could not read or write. Their real estate was valued at $2000 and their personal property was valued at $1000.

1900 Census Milford, Ellis County, Texas, B Sheet No. 4 18 indicates Audley was living in Ellis County, Texas with his wife Laura A and daughter Cora, common laborer, owned his own home free and clear and everyone in the home could read and write. It also indicates he was born in the month of October and I changed his birthdate to reflect this. It states Laura A had given birth to 5 children and only 3 were living, Cora who lived with them was 14 and she had only been married to Audley for 12 years. This may mean that Laura had Cora before she married Audley.

Audley Harrison, Jr. was about eleven years old when his father, Audley Harrison, Sr. died.

Harrison and Hennessee Families: Lived Together and Fought Together
Between April 17th and May 20th, 1861 Tennessee seceded from the Union along with Virginia, Arkansas and North Carolina. That summer Camp Smartt was established and as the individual Civil War soldier's records show, on September 6, 1861 at least 15 of the Harrison and Hennessee brothers and cousins enlisted in the Civil War and on September 11th the Tennessee Mountain Rifle Regiment was organized. The Regiment changed names several times but finally came to be known as the 35th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. They served in the Regiment while it was called the 5th Regiment, Company "B" under the command of C M Forrest. These Hennessee and Harrison men included at least: Audley M Harrison and his brother Alexander, cousins J W and Samuel Harrison, his wife Nancy Hennessee's four brothers; James Sr., John Thomas, Patrick Scott and "Big" Thomas Jr., his wife's cousin and daughter's husband Archibald Hugh Hennessee, and Hennessee cousins Anderson L, George, James C, "Little" Thomas, Thomas L and James Jr.

Before 1880, Audley Harrison, Jr. moved to Texas where he settled in Milford, Ellis County, Texas.

April 12, 1898, Audley lived in Forney, Kafman County, Texas. His son Obediah came to visit and wrote home to his wife who was in Missouri on this date. Juanita (Clower) Kirby Wells has this original letter.

Somewhere I saw that there were more children for this family, Rachel, Mary Frances, Joseph and Elizabeth. However I could not confirm this information, I had no dates or location of birth and deleted it from my file.

1930 Census, Audley's son George, indicates his father was born in Tennessee.

DAR file number 840385 shows Audley died in Warren County, Tennessee in 1870 and several other reports including the Death Record on ancestry.com says he died in Bonnham, Fannin County, Texas. However this can not be correct as he is on Census records in 1880, 1890 and 1900 in Texas and applied for his pension #08676 near the end of his life in 1902. I have a copy of this pension in my possession. I spoke to the Texas State Library and Archives and they stated their Pension Log shows he died on May 20, 1902 and his one and only Pension check was mailed to Ellis County, Texas. A copy of this log is being mailed to me.

Death:
This information is NOT correct and has been proven by the original pension records I received from the Texas Secretary of State. It is being corrected in the DAR records with my application, which is the only way DAR will make changes or corrections to records. - Sandra Harrison

Died:
Juanita Clower Kirby Wells research shows Audley died in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas and so does the ancestry.com death index record.

Audley married Hennessee, Nancy on 14 Apr 1861 in Warren County, Tennessee. Nancy (daughter of Hennessee, Thomas and Jennings, Sally) was born in 1845 in Warren County, Tennessee; died between 1872 and 1876 in Warren County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Birth: 1839
• Census: 06 Aug 1870, Warren County, Tennessee

Notes:

Some published family trees note Nancy Hennessee's birth date as 1839. This writer could not locate any information to document the 1839 birth date.

1870 Census indicates Nancy was 25. She would have been born about 1845.

Cassie (Harrison) Bevis thinks Nancy may have died in or near child birth. She may have never recovered after having the twins.

1930 Census, Nancy's son George, indicates his mother was born in Tennessee.

Notes:

Wiseman book indicates wedding day as 14th, ancestry.com Tennessee Marriage Index indicates 13th. Will order Warren County, Tennessee Marriage Records 1852 - 1900 to verify this information.

Notes:

25 MAR 2011 - TEMP RESEARCH NOTE: SOME CHILDREN ARE NOT CORRECT DUE TO TAKING IN BROTHER'S CHILDREN. DOCUMENTS RECEIVED TO CORRECT IT BUT DATA IS YET TO BE UPDATED!!! -Sandra Harrison

1850 Census Record indicates Archibald and Nancy were living in Warren County, Tennesee and had four children living with them, George who was 7, Elizabeth (Rachel) who was 5, Virginia who was 3, and Ezekiel who was just 5 months. The Census also shows that Archibald was a farmer, he did not own any property and he and Nancy could not read or write.

1860 Census Record indicates Archibald and Nancy were living in Warren County, Tennessee and had six children living with them, George who was 16, Elizabeth (Rachel) who was 14, Virginia who was 12, Ezekiel who was 10, Joseph who was 5, Jacinth who was 3 and Milly who was just 4 months. The Census also shows that Archibald was a loborer, he owned $400 in personal property but no real estate and Nancy was a house keeper.

Between April 17th and May 20th, 1861 Tennessee seceded from the Union along with Virginia, Arkansas and North Carolina. That summer Camp Smartt was established and as the individual Civil War soldier's records show, on September 6, 1861 at least 15 of the Harrison and Hennessee brothers and cousins enlisted in the Civil War and on September 11th the Tennessee Mountain Rifle Regiment was organized. The Regiment changed names several times but finally came to be known as the 35th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. They served in the Regiment while it was called the 5th Regiment, Company "B" under the command of C M Forrest. These Hennessee and Harrison men included at least: Audley M Harrison and his brother Alexander, cousins J W and Samuel Harrison, his wife Nancy Hennessee's four brothers; James Sr., John Thomas, Patrick Scott and "Big" Thomas Jr., his wife's cousin and daughter's husband Archibald Hugh Hennessee, and Hennessee cousins Anderson L, George, James C, "Little" Thomas, Thomas L and James Jr.

Archibald's wife Nancy didn't know she was only a few weeks pregnant when Archibald joined the Civil War, leaving her home with six children under the age of fifteen with the youngest being just two years old. Archibald had been in the Civil War for about ten months, when he gets word that Nancy had complications during child birth, the baby had died and Nancy was not recovering. I can only assume this is why the Muster Rolls for July and August, 1862 indicate he is "Absent without leave" and on on July 9, his son George is granted furlough for 30 days and when he returns Archibald's Muster Roll dated July 17, states "At home and his son George in his place." Since this does match the time frame Nancy died, George could have gotten word of his mother's death, gone home for his mother's burial and then returned in his father's place to fight the war.

On January 16, 1863, George "Appears on a LIST of killed, wounded and missing, in Cleburne's Division, Hardee's Corps. A. T., in the batle of Murfreesboro, Tenn., Dec. 31, 1862. This may be why previous books on the Harrison and Hennessee families have stated George was "killed in the Civil War". I obtained a copy of the original document and it further details "Slightly wounded in hip" and continues to show up on the Muster Rolls as "Present" through April of 1863. I was discussing this with Mary Elizabeth Barnes,

Archibald and John Authur Cunningham were first cousins and faught together in the Civil War. John was a Captian, but Archibald never got above the rank of private. There is a photograph of John Aurther pointing a pistol at Archibald which was taken in the late 1800s. The weapon in the photograph was last seen in the home of Nellie Hennessee Cunningham, as per an interview with Alford Hennessee. John Authur Cunningham is burried a Pecan Cemetery not far from Archibald's son Ezkiel and his wife Victoria Hennessee.

Alexander Daniel Hennessee was in my file and online on a few family trees, although I did not think he was Archibald's son. I found the birth date of 1863 online and 1858 in Hennessee Family History. Further research found this came from information that Alfred Hennessee gave to the writer of Hennessee Family History and Wiseman Family and Allied Lines which added his marriage to Nancy Turpin. Both books show Archibald Hugh Hennesse had a son Alexander, but they both showed different mothers. I didn't think he was born in 1863 because he wasn't on the 1860 census with the family and I have now contacted Alexander's grandchildren and they don't believe him to be Archibald's Son. However in 1870, Archibald's nephew Philander was living with them and he was born in 1858. The census is very faded and difficult to read. I was able to darken the image and enlarge it to see it was Philander and I can see how someone years ago could have mistaken the name to look like Alexander. There is a Alexander Hennessee who was born in 1863 who married Nancy Turpin, moved to Oklahoma, had several children, died in December 1898 and is buried in Grady Cemetery in Jefferson County, Oklahoma but his parents are not Archiblad Hugh Hennessee and Nancy Harrison.

While researching this I became interested in this story and wondered why Archiblad had some of his brother's children living with him. I had notes from ten years ago saying that I needed to do more research on Archibald's brother's family, William "Thomas" Hennessee and his wife Eleanor Nellie Hays, because it looked like they and some of their children all died in November of 1868. When I first found this information and saw so many women with children with no husbands, I thought Thomas could have died in the Civil War but they had children after the end of the Civil War. Here ten years later there are more online options available for searching and I just happen to find some of Thomas' children who I thought had died, living with their uncle Archibald Hughes Hennessee and other Hays, McGregor and Lawrence relatives. Thomas was always easy to find on a census because he lived within a few houses from Archibald, if not in the same house.

I found William Thomas Hennessee and his wife, Eleanor Nellie Hays, did die in November 1868 leaving six to nine children without parents. The children were: Philander who was 10, Willaim 9, Rachel 8, Elvina 6, Mary 5, Laura 4, Patrick 3, Phoeba 1 and Cornelia who was born the same year her parents died. I say leaving six to nine children because previous researchers did not see some of the children living with relatives and stated they died young. Mary Elizabeth Barns, who did the research for the Wiseman book, found some of what I found and states on page 415, "Thomas and Eleanor Hayes Hennessee were deceased by 1870 and their younger children were living with the Hays and Hennessee brothers and sisters."

1870 census for McMinnvile, Warren County, Tennessee shows Philander age 12, Alvira 7, Mary 8 and Cornella 2 living with their uncle Archibald and the 1880 census shows Cornella age 12 listed as Arcibald's niece. I found William, who was 11 years old, living with his mother's McGregor relatives, Laura who was 6 living with James Lawrence and Phoeba who was 5 living with Calhoun and Elizabeth Hays. I did not find Rachel Elizabeth or Partick so they could have died young as some books say and, there could have been an illness in the county that killed them and their parents or they could have even gone to live with other family members and are simply not easy to locate. The census also indicates Archiblad's fam is valued at $3,000 and personal property worth $600 and he can not read or write.
