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.

Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Northeast Arkansas page 794
Thomas C. Hennessee is a son of G. C. and Sallie (Smith) Hennessee, of Warren County, Tenn., who emigrated to Wright County, Mo., in 1842, where Thomas was born March 20, 1844. In 1863 the family moved to Arkansas and located in Lawrence County, where the father died in 1880. He served in the Confederate army through the war, and was one of the raiders under Price during that general's daring exploits. The family consisted of four sons and three daughters, who grew to mature years, of whom two brothers and three sisters are yet living. Thomas C. Hennessee remained with his father on the farm until the latter joined the Confederate army, in 1861. In 1862 he enlieted in the Second Missouri Battalion of Cavalry, and served in that company until the close of the war. He was paroled and discharged at [p.794] Shreveport, La, on May 10, 1865, and returned to his home in Lawrence County. During his career in the army Mr. Henuessee has, no doubt, seen about as much fighting, and also done fully as much as any soldier at that pariod. He took part in the fights at Poison Springs, Marks' Mill, Jenkins' Ferry, and a great many skirmishes and fights of lesser note, but equally as hot as their predecessors. When he first joined the army, the battalion of which he was a member was composed of 476 men, and out of that number only seventy-four lived through the horrors of war to be paroled at its close. Mr. Hennessee received a gun-shot wound in one of his limbs, which disabled him for a time; and, on another occasion, was wounded by one of the guards, after being taken a prisoner, while walking over a log to cross a creek. On December 21, 1865, he was married to Miss Levira Bagley, of Arkansas, and then settled to a farm life with his bride. He came on his present place in December, 1870, and has cleared up about 160 acres, and built a fair house, out-buildings and all necessary adjuncts, besides a small orchard of wellselected fruits. He also owns another farm of 187 acres, with about sixty acres cleared up and a comfortable house built upon it, owning altogether some 400 acres of rich bottom land, situated about five miles northwest of Walnut Ridge. Mr. Hennessee was elected justice of Cache Township in 1874, and held the office continuously for twelve years. He is a Democrat in politics, and a strong adherent to the principles and doctrines of his party. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and Mr. Hennessee is also a member of the Knights and Ladies of Honor. They have had five children born to them, all living. Their names are Martha, wife of J. S. Childers; Laura, wife of W. G. Duty; Joseph G., John H. and Sallie Anna. Mr. Hennessee started in life, after the war, without a dollar, and has accumulated his fine property by industry, economy and good management, and is now one of Lawrence County's solid men and enterprising citizens.

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.

Quote By Cassie Belle Harrison: "First he went to Aunt Sally because he was not treated well by his step mother and she didn't treat Audley good either. He later lived with a family who was a teacher. One day when I was about 10 the teacher, a man, came up to Misourri on a horse to see George. He hadn't seen him in awhile. George was about 14 when he rigged a pole so it would come down on my head when I would open the door, he was always playing pranks. Soon after that he left home."

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:

As per Billie F (Harris) Luse: Son of: Archibald H. & his 1st wife, Nancy (Harrison) Hennessee. aka: "Pid", married (1) Oregon Ira Jarrett, 26 Dec. 1872, Warren Co., TN., d/o Barney Pratt & Melissa Ann (Morrow) Jarrett. Children born to Pid & Oregon: Nancy Virginia, James Barney, Laura A. & twins Melissa Belle & Melissa Delle Hennessee. "Pid" m. (2) Josephine "Josie" English Gilliland, 20 Mar. 1883, Van Zandt Co., TX. Children born to Pid & "Josie": Alexander Jasper, Wm. Archie, Josephine, Nora, Elizabeth & Grace Hennessee.

Known to me as "Uncle Pid". He was the 1/2 brother of my grandfather: William Patrick Hennessee. William was the son of Archibald H. & his 2nd wife, Mary (Hayes) Hennessee. William remained close to all his 1/2 bros. & sisters in TN and after their move to TX and then to OK.


1910 Census Record indicates Joe and his wife Josie were living in Lincoln Township, Comanche, Oklahoma and had two children living with them, Bill who was 18 and single and Thene who was a 12 year old single female. Josie stated that she had given birth to seven children and six of them were living. The Census also shows that Joe was a farmer and owned his own farm.

Must confirm this information obtained from Alfred Hennessee:
1900 Census for Indian Territory, Chickasaw Nation, Ara, Oklahoma
"uncle Pid" did not draw the land south of Tinney until 1901 and the lottery information list his place of residence as Ara. Detailed information on the lottery is available somewhere.
Alexander must have died in Indian Territory.
Charlie's mother may be on the 1930 census for Decatur Co, Iowa. Possibly her and Alexander are on a Texas Census together. Census show Charlie's birth place and other children as Texas.
Alfred said he was about 5 or 6 when Alexander died (about 1899 or 1900). He was buried in a little town called Powder Puff in the Oklahoma side of Nokona, Texas.
Alexander liked to get into fights. Friend of Alfred tried to find Powder Puff and could not locate.
