  • Notes 
    • Mattie Belle Hennessee Cate, granddaughter (1924-, Telecon May 1991.

      Family lore has it that JDH was a wood's colt son by one of two brothers who came from Ireland. The mother is thought to have been an Indian with family name of "Beavers". JDH settled in Sweet Water Valley; the Athens-Knoxville area.

      JDH had half-brother & sister: Wesley & Ann Dalton...

      Editor's Note:Some of this family went west, c. 1890, to Arkansas.

      JDH was enumerated in his grandfather Beaver's household during the 1850 & 1860 Vallytown, Cherokee Co., NC census records.

      JDH appears later in the 1880 McMinn Co.,TN census. [12]
    • Later comments by great-grandson, Luther:

      "Telephone interview with Luther Hennessee, April 19, 1991. Lived in Richmond Hill,GA.

      "...His father, James, told him that his grandfather, John David, left North Carolina with two half-sisters, names unknown (Dalton? - name now confirmed), but married names were "Beavers" and "Roberts", because his father (unknown - later uncovered as David Hennessa) made brew and John David could not abide that because he was a preacher and tee-totaler..."
