153	Hannah Dennis, the wife of Thomas Samuel Harrison, Sr., was closely related to the Hannah Dennis who was captured by a party of Shawnee Indians. The Shawnees went through Lartmill Gap to Purgatory Creek and killed Joseph Dennis and his child, and took Hanna, his wife, prisoner. Hannah learned the Shawnee tongue and because of her skill in treating illnesses, she was given much liberty. She escaped on a driftwood log and made her way back to her family in 1763. Hannah Dennis is buried on the Perry farm on Fairgrounds Road in Tazewell County, Virginia. Quote from Eugene Wiseman: Hannah Dennis Harrison signed her will on May 20, 1830 and the will was proven in June 1830 in Tazewell County, Virginia Will Book 1, page 31. The executor was her son Thomas and there were three witnesses, William Taylor, John B. Gillespie and James Mahood. Her sons were listed as Thomas, Alexander, James, Joseph, Samuel, Audley and one daughter Nelly Thompson. Some of her grandchildren were also listed as son Thomas' daughter Hanna Harrison and Hanna Thompson and also the heirs of her daughter Nancy Gillespie. One daughter in law was listed, Polly Harrison.	Dennis, Hannah (I90)

157	Hennessee Family History indicates James was a farmer.	Hennessee, James (I691)
158	Hennessee Family History states "Reared his family near Harrison Ferry." This goes right along with the stories told by Warren County historians who tour at The Audley Harrison House on the Warren County fairgrounds. They tell that Audley Harrison and James Hennessee lived on adjoining plantations and were big gamblers and this is how Harrison's Ferry became the property of James Hennessee and Hennessee Creek became the property of Audley Harrison.	Hennessee, James (I691)
159	Hennessee family members have said William worked in the lumber business. 1880 Morris, Texas County, Missouri has a William Hennessee b abt. 1861 who is 19 years old married to Sureppta? living in the next house from William's parents. It is possible he was married before Della since their first child was not born until 1893. Did a massive search for 1900 census with William and John and could not find anything. 11/1/06 1910 United States Federal Census Record for Justice Precinct 1, Tarrant Co, Texas shows William was a farmer. It also shows Della had 7 children who were all living and that William and Della had taken in two orphans, Gurtrude Gray age 19 and Bill Gray age 15. 1920 United States Federal Census Record for Frisco Township, McCurtain, Oklahoma shows William was a farmer.	Hennessee, William Beauregard (I654)

161	I found three different dates for Lucy's birth datd and two different dates were listed in Wiseman Family and Allied lines pages, 414 and 471. I used the date as show on her tombstone.	McGee, Lucy Jane (I1170)
162	I originally had wedding date as 25 Apr 1818 but changed it to 25 Sept 1818 as this was the date verified by DAR file number 460666.	Harrison, Alexander (I98)
163	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.	Rodgers, Victoria (I354)
164	I was unable to find Rachel after her parents died in 1868, most of her brothers and sisters went to live with their uncle Archibald Hugh Hennessee and other relatives.	Hennessee, Rachel Elizabeth (I1169)
165	In 2012, during a conversation with Fonda Woods Bonner about the connection between her Woods family and her husband's Hennessee and Harrison family, I realized that her grandmother's Clifton family had the same name as a Clifton family married into the Hennessee family and I had two Delph Clifton's in my file. I researched this further through The Wiseman Family book and The Hennessee Family book and realized this was the same person and merged the two. I also researched and found Margaret Clifton who was also connected to the Hennessee family and the Clifton's are related to the Barnes and our other families in Warren County, Tennessee. I will contact Mary Elizabeth Barns and ask her to send me all of her Woods research so we can try to find the other connections to the family, try to follow their migration to Texas and Oklahoma and possibly be able to find the Woods family history back further than Issac Nathan Woods.	Clifton, Delph (I1051)
166	Inlisted in the Civil War with his brother Audley and cousin Samuel. Their record indicates they signed up on the same date and same location.	Harrison, Alexander (I789)
167	Isaac Nathon Woods' NARA Civil War Record indicates he served as a Private in the 59th Tennessee Mounted Infantry in Cooke's Regiment and later in 1st Eakin's Infantry Battalion. NARA Film Number: M231 roll 48 The National Parks Service Civil War Record: 59th Regiment, Tennessee Mounted Infantry (Cooke's) (Eakin's 1st Battalion) 59th Infantry Regiment was organized in June, 1862, using the 1st (Eakin's) Tennessee Infantry Battalion as its nucleus. Its members were from the counties of McMinn, Monroe, Carter, Knox, Grainger, Hamblen, and Polk. For a time the unit served at Cumberland and Big Creek Gaps, then was assigned to A.W.Reynolds' Brigade, Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. It fought in the Vicksburg Campaign and was captured on July 4, 1863. After being exchanged and reorganized as mounted infantry, the regiment was placed under the command of General Vaughn. It went on to take part in the operations around Knoxville and in May, 1864, an inspection report showed the 59th with 241 present. The unit participated in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign, and during the spring of 1865 it disbanded in Southwestern Virginia. The field officers were Colonels James B. Cooke and William L. Eakin, Lieutenant Colonel James P. Brown, and Majors Chares M. Alexander and James F. Love. Predecessor unit: 1st (Eakin's) Infantry Battalion [also called East Tennessee Battalion] was organized in February, 1862, with five companies. Its numbers gradually increased, and in June it became the 59th Tennessee Infantry Regiment. The unit was commanded by Major W.L. Eakin. Cassie Belle Harrison in a letter to Fonda June Woods Bonner "There were many Georges, we had two. Fonda, your father was known by "Little George" all of his life by three generations. His and my great grandparents were, Isaac Nathan "Nathan" and Mary Brewer. They had four boys; George (Grandpa Woods), John, Isaac "Uncle Ike" my favorite and Dude. Nathon "Nath" served in the Civil War in Tennesee. He hadn't been home long, when he was sitting out side, a couple of men rode up by horseback and shot him. I never learned why, probably Yankees. Mary then married his brother Tom and they had three boys and a girl.

176	Joseph D. Harrison was the first of his family of Harrisons to move to Warren County, Tennessee. He is in the 1812 Tax List of Warren County, along with John Edde, Benjamin Lockhart, William Neal and Joseph Dennis. Joseph D. Harrison and his wife Rachel named their farm in Warren County "Pleasant Cove". Pleasant Cove is mentioned in the autobiography of one of their sons and in the will of one their nephews, George Harrison. This was proven in Warren County in 1859. In 1817, Joseph D. Harrison sold his land in Warren County and moved to a farm in Alabama on the Blount and Jefferson County line. In 1826, Joseph D. Harrison and his wife Rachel sold the land in Jefferson County, apparently planning to join the Stephen F. Austin Colony in Texas. Joseph and his family were in Texas by 1830, where they appear in the "Citizen's Register" of Austin's Colony. The Register shows the family with four sons and three daughters and states the family arrived in Texas in January of 1830. Quote from Eugene Wiseman: Joseph and Rachel returned to Alabama and died there before 1835.	Harrison, Joseph D. (I481)
177	Joseph may be on the 1840 Census in Warren County, Tennessee page 537, where is mother Agnes is listed, living with his wife, 2 daughters 5 and under and 1 son who is 5 to 10 years old. Although this Census is saved in the sources, I have not checked this with the children or used it as a source for Joseph yet.	Harrison, Joseph (I557)

180	Juanita Clower Kirby Wells research notes show Mary Polly's last name spelled Grove not Groves. There is a lot of research needed to see if the Grove and Groves families are one in the same.	Groves, Mary Polly (I854)

182	Juanita may have more information on Buster and the children if needed.	Harrison, Cassie Viola (I277)
183	June 2010, Wilma Harrison said William is burried at Letitia Cemetary east of Lawton and a grand son applied for his head stone to be supplied by the government due to his Civil War service and the government did supply the head stone. The1910 census indicates William's parents were both born in Tennessee, although the later 1920 census states this is unknown. June 2010, found a few records online of William's Civil War service, but could not find him listed online on the rosters for his regiment. I did find it strange that there were was a William S Glasgow and a W S Glasgow in the same company of only a few men. This may be a typo from who ever typed the information for the internet. Also, I could not figure out why William would be in Marion, Alabama in 1850, in Tishimingo, Mississippi in 1860 and then go hundreds of miles back to Marion, Alabama to in list for the Civil War. Further research of maps shows Marion, Alabama is not in Marion County. Marion County, Alabama borders Tishomingo County, Mississippy. I also could not find William on a Census just after or in the 20 years following the Civil War. More research needs to be done in these two bordering counties. William was 50 when he married Louisa, he may have had a whole other family with grown children when he married Louisa who was 20 years younger than he was.	Glasgow, William Balis (I915)
