| Notes |
- Telephone interview with Luther 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...
----------
April 26, 1991; Further interview with Luther: Modifies Mattie Belle's testimony to add that his father, James William, also went west with David and Frank. James & Frank also spent time in Oklahoma cutting timber to be used as railroad ties.

I regret to have to tell you that Luther Hennessee (father of James Franklin) died June 25, 2005 at his home in Richmond Hill. Franklin and I had gone to Richmond Hill on Friday afternoon so we were there at the time of his death. His older sister Sallie H. Ellis in Athens, Tenn died July 7, 2005
Sallie's husband Larry Ellis died in July 2001 ( That date is approximate - as I don't remember the exact date - but I thought the information might be useful in updating the family history)
Betty Hennessee [1]
- Richmond Hill - Luther Franklin Hennessee, born September 3, 1916 in Athens, TN, ended his journey June 25, 2005, at home with his wife of 67 years by his side.
He was a member of International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 26, he retired from Union Camp in 1979 and since then spent his time taking care of his family, working with his bees, and rescuing birds and small animals. Luther was an interesting, intelligent and honorable man, and his death has created a void that will never be filled.
He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Morris Hennessee; three sons, James Franklin (Betty), Billy Morris (Margaret) and Gary Luther; two daughters, Gail Greene and Debbie Hennessee; five grandchildren, Paul Hennessee, Andrea Preston (Jeff), Gary Greene, Gary Hennessee Jr., and Megan Hennessee and three great-grandchildren; three sisters, Lula Roberts, Nellie Small and Sallie Ellis and several nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be 6-8 p.m., Monday, J une 27, 2005 at Carter Funeral Home Bryan Chapel.
