Hi, David:
Are you interested in copies of the information found in Archives above about John Hennessee's son David and his trespass causing $1,000 damage on John's property after John's death? Summons was issued 1845 with judgement made against David. Among the same papers was summons against Tisdale Spencer & his son Samuel in 1847.
Judgement appeared to be against Tisdale & Samuel also but it is noted they were out of state & insolvent. (They were in Gilmer Co., Ga.- later went to Texas) Abraham Sudderth, Jr. (husband of Elmina - Elmira) and Patrick II were executors.
As I remember I saw where the suit against Tisdale & Samuel was dropped - some thought because Patrick II had died. Elizabeth Wilson Spencer, John's wife at the time of John's death, was called to testify on behalf of Abraham, Jr. It appears she came but was not used to testify. She wanted to be paid for her trip (she was out of county), was not paid. When Elizabeth died in Forsyth Co., N. C. in 1855, she made bequests to her side of the family only.
Looks like David got into a lot of trouble after his Dad's death - son David - plus the trespassing & damage charge. Guess David did not like the choices father John gave him when John wrote his will in 1844.
If you read John's will closely, you can see John was apprehensive about David's reaction. Probably David could not be reached at that time so John had to make decisions without consulting David.
These were, of course, all problems on John's side and you may not want to worry about them. The handwriting on the papers is faint & difficult to read. I wish I had more details but all I can do is read between the lines. I know John's will was not settled for 6 years.

Hi, David: You may remember I have tried from time to time to find 1870 Cherokee Co., N. C., census on the Internet. I finally located a Patty Brock who had a copy of it and was willing to look up one name. I contacted her inquiring about John David at
abrock@cinci.rr.com
Below is what I received:
"August 4, 1870 Murphy Township
HH#121 Hennessee, John 41 NC Dry Goods Dealer, Nancy 29 Ga, Caroline 9 NC, Catharine 3 NC" I am sure I do not need to tell you that John above is John H. Hennessee, s/o David Hennessee and Catherine Sudderth; Nancy is John's wife N. Josephine Goodrune (or Nancy Josephine Goodrune); Caroline is Elizabeth or C. E. Hennessee (or Caroline Elizabeth Hennessee), d/o John H. above; Catharine is Victoria (or Catharine Victoria or Victoria Catherine ? - probably Catharine Victoria, maybe Victoria
Catharine) d/o John H. above
"HH#136 Hennesa, David 62 NC County Commissioner, Catharine 72 NC, Taylor, Nancy 21 Ky, Step, William 20 NC, Stewart, Thomas 11 NC (black)." Again, no doubt I do not need to offer any further inf. re above but - David would be David Hennessee, s/o John Hennessee and Elmina Thompson; Catharine would be Catherine Sudderth, d/o Abraham Sudderth, Sr., and w/o David. I do not know the others at this moment. Perhaps you do.
John David Hennessee, illegitimate son of David Hennessee, was listed with the Benjamin Beaver family in Cherokee Co NC censuses of 1850 and 1860 but his name is not in the 1870 Cherokee Co NC census per Patty Brock with the Beavers or otherwise:
"August 10, 1870 New Section of Valley Town Township
HH#35 Beaver, Benjamin 67 NC, Nancy 65 NC, Martha 28 NC, Patterson, Benjamin 9 NC, Beaver, Cornelia 6 NC." I have in my files: Martha, age 11, 1850; 21 1860.
"Living next door at HH#36 Beaver, Stuart 23 NC, Catherine 22 NC, Rowan 2 NC, Ann 1 NC (This probably is son of Benjamin above.)" I have in my files: Benjamin S. age 7, 1850; as Stuard, age 14 1860.
I am trying to find out what happened to John David after 1860 census until Nov 18 1875 when he married Lee Ann Shook in McMinn Co., Tenn. Do you have anything in this time frame?
I woke up this morning to our first rather heavy snow. I understand Nick H was to go to Gettysburg this weekend with his son and grandchildren to have a private tour of the battlefield. I would have liked to go too (was invited) but naturally couldn't. If there is snow at Gettysburg too, this weekend may not be the best of times. Cuz Nita [8]
