256	Orginally I had John's last name listed as GROVES but was finding his name spelled GROVE in many places. I went back and the only place I could find his name spelled GROVES was in the Wiseman Family book in just a small mentioning of Audley Harrison's daughter, Sophronia, marrying him. I found his name spelled GROVE in the 1940 Census and in the settlement of the estate of Richmond McGregor. Therefore, I changed the spelling to GROVE.	Grove, John (I664)

264	Quote by Eugene Wiseman: Sometime before 1910, Audley and Sarah lived in Texas with Audley's uncle by the last name of Cunningham. There is a photo of this Cunningham from the end of the Civil War with his cousin, Archibald Hugh Hennessee also in the Civil War. A letter from Dorothy Matkin, of unknown date, indicates Audley was living in Garland, Texas in 1889 and he had a loud voice. 1900 Census Record indicated Audley C and Sarah lived in Fannin County, Texas with 4 of their children. 1910 Census Record indicates A. C. and Sarah lived in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma on April 30, 1910. It also states they had seven children living with them George who was 14, Millie who was 12, Jewell who was 9, Elsie who was 7, Iva who was 5, Joe who was 2 and Alfred who was just 6 months. It also shows that Sarah had 9 children and 8 of them were living. The Census states A. C. was a farmer who operated his own farm.	Hennessee, Audley Claybbourn (I655)
265	Quote from Mary's granddaughter, Irene Hennessee Stapleton Askew, daughter of William Patrick Hennessee "The day Papa's mother died, Papa took the wagon and went right away to get a coffin to bury her in, but found her body was so large and it wouldn't fit into the coffin. There was nothing Papa and Mama could do but remove all the lining inside to enlarge it to fit her body. Once Papa got his mother Mary on cotton scales to weigh her, she weighed over 340 lbs."	Hayes, Mary (I677)
266	Quote from Pamela Ruth Hennessee, "My Daddy said that Uncle George went to register for the draft, came home undressed folding and hanging his clothes on the back of a chair, then crawled into bed and never got out again until the undertaker came. Uncle George had a young wife (Cora Lawson) and a baby daughter (Naola b 1917) The family was so lucky they only lost Uncle George because he died from the Flu of 1918."	Hennessee, George Patrick (I782)

269	Research notes for parents or family of William Columbus Cagle: November 2006 search found no census records with William Cagle born about 1888 in Mississippi. William would have been living in or around Iuka, Mississippi at the time he married Artie Glasgow and just prior to the birth of their first son Oliver Cagle who was born in Iuka. Research in the 1910 Tishomingo County, Mississippi census brought up only a few families with the name of Cagle. 1900 Coahoma County, Mississippi does have a William Cagle born in August of 1887 in Mississippi. He is living with his Father Hodge born in August of 1852 in Alabama and his mother Matta born in January of 1869 in Alabama. There are 4 other children living with them who were all born in Mississippi: A daughter Cora L. born in March of 1889, George born in October of 1891, Mattie born in September of 1894 and Rachel born in November of 1899. There is also a James Cagle living with them who was born in March of 1875 in Tennessee. His relationship with the head of the household, Hodge, can not be read, however this James is living in Iuke Mississippi on the 1920 Census. 1910 Iuka Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi There were only 4 people with the last name of Cagle. Charlie Cagle who was born about 1873 was born in Mississippi and his father and mother were born in Alabama. He has a wife Belle who was born about 1868 and they have no children. Jim Cagle who was born about 1878 was born in Mississippi and his father and mother were born in Alabama. He has a wife Della who was born about 1890 and they have no children. Charlie and Jim are listed on the census next to each other and could be brothers. They are also the right age to be younger brothers of William. Families or groups of brothers often settled in a new area together. 1910 Liberty Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi (census page 13) Same township as Artie Glasgow and her family. George W Cagle born about 1862 in Mississippi. His father was born in the United States and his mother was born in Alabama. His wife Laucia?, who's name is unclear on the census, was born about 1856 in Mississippi. Her father was born in Alabama and her mother was born in North Carolina. They have one child living with them Olivia? N., this name is also difficult to read, who was born about 1893 in Mississippi. 1910 Mills Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi John James Cagle born about 1866 in Alabama and his wife Prudence born about 1870 in Alabama. They have 8 children living with them ranging in age from 20 to 1 year and 4 months. The census does indicate Prudence gave birth to 10 children and 9 are still living. This would mean their oldest child who would have been born about 1888, the same time as William Columbus Cagle, has already left home. 1900 Census indicates this oldest child was a daughter, Irene. 1910 Providence Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi There are two young families with parents about the same age as William Cagle. Although they could be brothers, they are to young to be his parents. John T Cagle family and Chas E Cagle family. 1910 Bay Springs Township, Tishomingo County, Mississippi Lord Cagle born in Alabama about 1865 and his wife Martha born in Mississippi in about 1871 and 6 of their children ranging in age from 6 to 19 years old. Although they are the right age, they could not be William Cagle's parents because they have 6 children and all 6 children are living with them. Although there are 194 people by the name of Cagle living in Mississippi, the above Cagles are the only ones living in a county near the Glasgow family. Unfortunately, Tishomingo County is the most North East county of Mississippi and borders Tennessee and Alabama. William C. Cagle would have been in the Tishomingo County, Mississippi area around 1920. Wilma Lois (Cagle) Harrison recalls her Granny, Artie Leona Glasgow saying that William came back once before she and the children moved to Oklahoma and he tried to steal her cow which was one of her only means for providing for herself and the children.

273	Ruby was living in Freemont, California on June 21, 1968 when she wrote Laura Viola (Harrison) Rodgers, in a brithday card, to tell her that Larry Davis had written her from the war and seemed fine and she had only received one letter from her son Butch and wasn't expecting to hear from him again until he comes home. Ruby ends the card "I hope you get this card on time - had to ride my broom to the store to get and I'm pooped! Love Ruby, Paula & Baron". Laura Viola (Harrison) Rodgers Family Scrap Book Ruby's tomb stone shows she died on 9/11/1970. Laura Viola (Harrison) Rodgers Family Record shows she died on 9/9/1970. The death date of 9/11/1970 was confirmed by the California Death Index 1940-1997. Ruby's brother, William Alphous "Bill" Harrison said that Ruby died from a rare skin disease called Scleroderma. The Center for Disease Control states Scleroderma is chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis (or hardening) of vascular alterations and autoantibodies. It rapidly progresses and effects a large area of the skin and one or more internal organs, frequently the kidneys, esophagus, heart and lungs and is quite disabling. The cause is unknown, but it is known to run in families and there is no cure and only the symptoms can be treated.	Harrison, Ruby Belle (I267)

289	Stories written by Mary Elizabeth Barnes for the Wiseman Family and Allied lines book. I found these stories very interesting since I am one of the cousins from Lawton, Oklahoma and have other family who obtained land in the Oklahoma Land Rush. My notes are added in italics. -Sandra Harrison ?When land opened up in Oklahoma, they (Robert and Elizabeth) decided to join Lizzie's family already living there. Her brother William M. Hayes was a judge in Ryan, Oklahoma and several of her cousins lived in Lawton. About 1905, Rob, Lizzie and baby Rachel left for Memphis on their way west, where they encountered the Cholera quarantine. After a week in Memphis they took the train west, only to be set upon by outlaws. They arrived in Oklahoma penniless. Nevertheless they were able to acquire land and build a cabin. Later Lizzie said that they had to keep an eye out for the Indians, not for fear of harm, but because they stole the family?s chickens. In 1906 in Mangum, Oklahoma, another daughter Ethel was born. Rob heard a noise outside and saw a tornado approaching. They had a storm cellar in a nearby bank, so Rob grabbed Lizzie, baby Ethel and the mattress and headed for the storm cellar. Lizzie later said that as she lay there listening to the storm roar by, she looked up in the rafters and there, coiled up was a bull snake looking back at her. She said she and the snake eyed each other till the storm blew past. Rob, after carrying his family back to the cabin, got his shotgun and killed the snake. This apparently helped convince him that this was not a good place to raise a family, so by 1907 when their third daughter Edna was born they were living in Ryan, Oklahoma near Lizzie?s brother William. By 1908 they were back at Dark Hollow in Warren County, Tennessee. In 1910 they were in Burt, Cannon County, Tennessee.?	Hayes, Elizabeth (I1435)
290	Tazewell County, Virginia was not originally the name of Anna's birth location, the name of the county changed after her birth. Our People at Rest: Shellsford Cemetery by Robert A. C. and Leona Hills page 112. Hennessee Family History by David Hennessee indicates Hannah's year of death 1856 and Boney / Hennessee famly tree from internet by Randy Boney, Garland, Texas and other internet family trees show Hannah's year of death 1846. Some researchers show the year of death to be 1836. This researcher believes 1836 is the correct year due to the census records, 1836 would be 4 years after her last child was born and 2 years before Audley had his first child with Elizabeth Grove. Additionally, Hannah's tombstone indicates she died on 02 Feb 1836 but DAR file number 460666 and 840385 indicates she died on 26 Sept 1835. As of 31 Dec 2010, I am waiting on original records from DAR to confirm the correct date of death.	Dennis, Hannah Elizabeth (I458)
291	Tazewell County, Virginia was not originally the name of Audley's birth location, it was Botetourt County and the name of the county changed after his birth. 1820 Census indicates "Edly" (Audley Harrison) was living in Warren County, Tennessee with the following in his home: 1 male 26 - 45 (Audley was 29), 1 female 26 - 45 (Anna Elizabeth Dennis was 26), 2 males under 10 (George was 9 and Joseph was 3), 3 females under 10 (Nettie was 10, Anna was 5, Eleanor was 2) Saphronia's birth year was about 1819, and eaisly could have been born in 1820 after the Census. The Census indicates "Edly" was engaged in Agriculture. Before 1820 Samuel Harrison moved from Tazewell County, Virginia to Warren County, Tennessee, where on July 9, 1825 he gave power of attorney to Audley Harrison, Sr. to "all rights to inheritance from my father Thomas Harrison, late of Tazewell County". This is listed in Tazewell County Deed Book 4, page 35. On October 24, 1927, James Lockhart of Warren County, Tennessee, gave a power of attorney to Audley Harrison, Sr. to convey 120 acres of land, located on the headwaters of the Maiden Springs Fork of the Clinch River. The 120 acres was adjacent to land owned by William Williams, David Allen, and James Whitten. It is registered in Tazewell County, Virginia, Deed Book 4, Page 463 and in Order Book, page 273. Documentation from "The Audley Harrison House" by the Warren County, Tennessee Historical Society. excerpt: "Audley Harrison died intestate (without a will) , according to court records." The McMinnville Heritage Alliance wrote in a letter in 2006 "The main cabin is The Harrison Cabin. It was relocated and reconfigured so it is not all original. The Jennings family, of course, lived there man years after Audley Harrison did. The O'neal cabin was the slave cabin (later the kitchen) for the main log house. It did not get the changes and preservation The Harrison Cabin did, Heritage Alliance does not sponsor the other cabin at the fair grounds - only The Harrison House." One researchers records indicated Audley was a Justice of the Peace in the 4th Civil District, Warren County, Tennessee. This writer has been unable to verify that record. 1840 Census indicates Audley was living in Warren County, Tennessee with the following in his home: 1 male 50 - 60 (Audley was 50), 1 female 30 - 40 (Elizabeth Grove was 36), 1 male under 5 (Alexander was 2), 1 female 15 - 20 (Virginia was 15) 2 females 10 - 15 (Nancy was 13, Millie was 10) 1 female 5 - 10 (Hannah L. was 8) and 1 female under 5 (Julia was 1). The Slave Schedule shows they had 2 males who were 10 - 24, 1 female 36 - 55, 1 female under the age of 10 and the family was engaged in Agriculture. 1850 Census indicates Audley and Elizabeth were living in Warren County, Tennessee on September 27, 1850. They had six children living with them. Hannah who was 18 and Audley's daughter from a previous marriage to Hanna Elizabeth Dennis who died in 1836, Alexander who was 12, Julia who was 10, Audley Jr. who was 8, Mary who was 5 and Thomas who was 3. The Census shows Audley was a farmer and the value of his property was $2000. It also states there was a 26 year old man living with them, Claboam, who was also a farmer. 1850 Census Schedule 2 Slave Schedule indicates Audley had 9 slaves: black female 55, black male 35, black male 25, black female 18, mulatto male 16, black male 16, black male 15, and two mulatto females 8 years old. Audley is named as child of Thomas Harrison and Hannah Harrison's wills. Although DAR file number 840385 indicates Audley's marriage to Elizabeth Groves was after 1835, I have retained the marriage as about 1837 as his first wife, Hannah Elizabeth Dennis' tombstone shows she died 2 Feb 1836 and Audley would have remarried after her death but sometime before the birth of their first child in 1838.	Harrison, Audley M. Sr. (I457)
292	The Hennessee Name: The name Hennessee originally appeared in Gaelic as O hAonghusa, which means "descendant of Angus". Just like the English language, the Gaelic language of Ireland was not standardized in the Middle Ages. Therefore, one's name was often recorded under several different spellings during the life of its bearer. Spelling variations revealed in the search for the origins of the Hennessee family name include Hennessey, Henasey, Henasay, Henchy, Henchey, Henchie, Hinchy, Hinchey, Hinchie, Henesey, Henessy, Henesy, Hennesey and many more. In early times the name was often spelled phoneticly. First found in County Offaly where they held a family seat from very ancient times. They were a family who were lords of Clann Cholgan, "Wiseman Family and Allied Lines" by Eugene M. Wiseman, p. 448: "The Hennessy family is descended from Milesius, King of Spain, through the line of his son Heremon. The founder of the family was Eogan, ancestor of the Northern HyNials, and son of Nial of the Nine Hostages, King of Ireland, 379 A.D. The Ancient name was Heodhasas, and signifies "Despair". It was taken from Aengus, a chieftain of the clan. The possessions of the sept were located in the present counties of Tipperary, Westmeath, and Kings. The O'Hennessys were Chiefs of Hy-Mac-Uais, now the Barony of Moygoish, in Westmeath. The O'Hennessys were also Chiefs of Clan Colgan. This district was situated in the barony of Lower Phillipstown, adjoining the conspicuous hill of Gorgham, in King's Country. (From "Genealogy of Irish Families by John Rooney, p. 286)" "Irish Pedigrees" p. 483: gives a description of the coat of arms of the Clan Colgan of King's Country, Ireland. "The Heritage Book of Burke County, NC" by The Burke County Historical Society, p. 329: "The Hennessee (O'hennessa, Hennesey, Hency) family is of Irish decent, a sect of the Colgon Clan of Ireland. They have been in Burke County, NC for at least 200 years, possibly longer. Patrick Hennessee, Sr. was the beginning of the family in Burke County. "Clans and Families of Ireland and Scotland" by C. Thomas Cairney, p. 82: "The Ui Failghe, closely related to the Eile, had probably separated from them by A.D. 516, the year of the defeat of the Eile at Druim Derge by the Southern Ui Niell. The Ui Failge descend from Failge Berraide, who a few years earlier had won the battle of Fremainn Mide (A.D. 510). This victory probably accounts for their being able to remain in the more northerly portion of Offaly while their cousins, the Eile, were forced to migrate south. The chief families of the Ui Failghe include the O’Connors of Offaly, the O’Mooneys, MacColgans, O’Hennesseys, O’Holohans, O’Dempseys and O’Dunnes. The O’Connors (O Conchobhair) of Offaly were a powerful and warlike sept of the northeast of what is now County Offaly. They descend from Conchobhar, son of Fionn, Lord of Offaly, who died in A.D. 979. From their stronghold at Dangan, now Philipstown, they successfully defended their territory from the English of the Pale (i.e. County Dublin) for more than 300 years. They were finally dispossessed by the English about 1550. The O’Mooneys (O Maonaigh) of around Ballymooney in County Offaly are a branch of the O’Connors. The Clann Cholgan included the families of MacColgan, O’Hennessy and O’Holohan. The MacColgans (Mac Colgan) were chiefs of the territory around Kilcolgan in the extreme northeast of County Offaly. The O’Hennessys (O hAonghusa) shared the lordship of Clann Cholgan (i.e., their clan-name was applied to the territory they possessed) with their kinsmen the O’Holohans (O hUallachain). Their territory comprised the present barony of Lower Philipstown, a district adjoining the hill of Croghan, near Kilbeggan, and lying just east of the O’Connors in northeast Offaly. A branch of the O’Hennessys were chiefs of Gailenga Beg, the district between Dublin and Tara, until they were dispersed into Offaly as a result of the Anglo-Norman invasion. Some of the O’Hennessys spread early into Tipperary and Glare. In County Glare they are now known as Henchy or Hensey." Note: This researcher found this book to be full of history of the first Hennessee families. "Kegley's Virginia Frontier: The Beginning of the Southwest - The Roanoke of Colonial Days: 1740-1783" by F. B. Kegley, p. 322: "New London in Bedford became a new western frontier town. Lots were laid off in 1761 and a good percentage of the purchasers came from the up country. The original owners were Col. Win, Callaway, James Callaway, Richard Doggett, Alexander Sayers, Wm. Bumpass, John Thompson, William Ingles, William Christian, Ambrose Bramblett, Thomas Walker, Alexander Borland, Mathew Talbot, Patrick Henacie, Col. Richard Callaway, John Callaway, John Layne, Howard Mead, Wm. Mead, Nath. Guest, James Niel, Col. John Smith, Henry Donald, Joshua Early, Mead & Howard, the Courthouse No. 10. Besides a sufficient number of stores there was an Academy of learning in operation as early as 1765. And in the Community of the Peaks there grew up a large congregation of Scotch Irish and Eastern Virginia dissenters who were working their way toward the Southwest. Among the members were the Armstrongs, Boyds, Ewings, Evans, Beards, Dooleys, Campbells, Todds, Carters, Reads, Harveys, Howards, Hills, Mitchells, McFarlands, Triggs, Sharps, Kennedys and Stones." I downloaded the entire 854 page book and copied this directly from the book. Although many people online use this quote to show Patrick Hennessee was from Virginia, this was the only record of a Hennessee name in the entire book. I also could not find this name in any of the other books about Virginai in the 1700s. "Burke county, North Carolina, Land Records and more Important Miscellaneous Record: 1751-1809, Vol. III, p. 103: "John and Mary Ballew vs. Hensey, October 15, 1780. Affidavit of said Ballews: In 1780 he was at Patrick Henesy's on Catawba River and saw a field of mares, and Henesy said his sons in law sent them, and later saw a similar mare delivered to Mr. Wm. Heartgrove." Note: This implies Patrick had daughters. "In 1761, Patrick was granted ownership of a Land Grant in Bedford County, Virginia. Later in 1774-1775, records list many purchases for him around the Catawba River. Also the "Petition To North Carolina Congress" 1775; co-signatories are David Crockett & Patrick Hennesey." Note: This researcher finds the David Crockett in this document can not be the Davy Crockett as the popular title "King of the Wild Frontier" who represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives, served in the Texas Revolution, and died at the age of 49 at the Battle of the Alamo as this Davy Crockett was not born until 1786. It also could not be his father as his name was John. Burke County, North Carolina land records indicate Patrick was a plantation owner.

They have been in Burke County, North Carolina, for more than two hundred years. Patrick Hennessee was the first of the family in Burke County. His birth date is unknown, but his will was probated October 1796. He had land entries in 1778, most of which was on both sides of the Catawba River. He also held land grants in Rutherford County in 1775. He had two sons, James and John. James married and moved to McMinnville, Tennessee between 1810-1812. John Hennessee's date of birth is unknown, but he died in 1844 and is buried in Fairfield Cemetery, Lenoir, NC. John purchased his brother's land on the Catawba River when James had relocated to Tennessee. John and his wife, Elizabeth, had four children, one of whom was Patrick, born 1793. Patrick died August 29, 1845, and is buried in Suddenth famly cemetery on the north side of the Catawba River, Burke County. Patrick married Nancy Suddenth (1799-1889). They lived their lives in Burke County and owned a large plantation on the south side of the Catawba River across from her brother, Col. John Suddenth. Patrick and John operated a ferry across the river. Patrick and Nancy had eleven children. Most of the Hennessees of Burke County are descendents of these.	Hennessee, Patrick (I706)

295	The name of "William's first wife is unknown", as stated by the Wiseman book. The name of "William's first wife is Lembia", as stated by The Hennessee Family book, however it is referenced by "Death Certificates - Warren and Van Buren Counties: 1914-1919", p. 120. She had her first child on 22 Sept 1802 and this death certificate would have made her at least 127 years old so I do not believe William's first wife is Lembia. Many other family trees show William's first wife to be mary "Polly" Heard born 2 Oct 1780 in Henry County, Virginia, marrying William on 26 Oct 1801 in Green County, Georgia and dying in Warren County, Tennessee. This information makes a great deal of sense for the following reasons: - There were Hayes family members born in Green County, Georgia. -Mary "Polly" is a name used in the family for every generation to today. -Their first child's birth lines up to be 9 months and 3 weeks after the marriage date. This researcher has not done any further research to try to locate the name of William's first wife.	Hayes, William M Sr (I1404)

298	The Wiseman Family book actually states William died before 1870 on page 512 and by 2 Sep 1871 on page 414, it does not state that William died "on" that date.	Hayes, William M Jr (I598)
