  • Notes 
    • Moved to Missouri. Appears in 1850 Wright Co.,MO Census. Living with him were two half-brothers, Thomas and Patrick. Gideon's family does not appear in 1860 Wright Co.,MO Census. Later found Gideon in Gainesville, Cooke Co., TX during census of 1860. Probably moved there in 1860 as his youngest child, Sarah, was born, in Missouri, in 1859. Also listed with this family was Elizabeth Mayberry, age 20.

    • 5 Nov 2013: Stefani Hennessee shares the following information:

      Well, I found a land record for Thomas Hennessee in Wright County MO dated 1 June 1859.

      Of note, there is a Thomas Hennessee in Robertson County, TN in 1862 on the IRS lists. He was listed as exempt which as I understand was the case with older people. Of course it could be someone else, I am not sure but thought it was worth sharing.

      I am also including the land records I have for Gideon Cain. I wanted to see if perhaps he bought Thomas' land when Thomas left but it doesn't appear he did. I checked the land records to see exactly what the locations were. They are as follows:

      1 June 1859 - Thomas Hennessee - North half of lots 1 and 2 of NW quarter of section 19 in township 30, range 13 AND NE quarter of the NE quarter of section 24, township 30 of range 14. Total of 124 acres and 43 hundredths of an acre.

      15 Sep 1854 - Gideon C Hennessee - North half of lot 2 of the SW fractional quarter of section 18 in township 29 of range 14. Total of 26 acres and 33 hundredths of an acre.

      15 May 1857 - Gideon C Hennessee - North West quarter of the south east quarter of section 13 in township 29 of range 15. Total of 40 acres.

      1 Oct 1860 - Gideon C Hennessee - NE quarter of the SE quarter of Section 13 in township 29 or range 15 AND the south half of lot 2 of the northwest quarter of section 18 in township 29 of range 14. Total of 66 acres and 45 hundredths of an acre.

      1 Oct 1860 - Gideon C Hennessee - south west quarter of the south east quarter of section 18 in township 29 of range 14. Total of 50 acres.

      1 July 1861 - Gideon C Hennessee - south half of lot 1 of the south west quarter of section 18 in township 30 of range 13. Total of 40 acres.

      Notice the dates for Gideon Cain's land patents. He and his family lived in Cooke county, TX in 1860 (census was taken 21 July). So that would put him moving there sometime between 14 Nov 1859 (his daughter Sarah's birth date) and 21 July 1860 and leaving there before 1 Oct 1860 unless he just made a trip there to buy more land before returning to TX of course. So it would appear his time in Texas was brief.

      You will also be happy to know I FINALLY found a record for Gideon Thomas Hennessee's marriage to Mary Stewart! I looked forever for that thing before but I know why I didn't find it... someone incorrectly transcribed it as G F Hennessee and Marg Stewart. Also, they were married in Ripley County, Missouri although both lived in Walnut Ridge. They were married on 14 Sep 1891.

      Enjoy! [17]
