Actually, the cemetery is in Oskaloosa, Iowa. John and at least one wife are buried there along with several children. Some were very little (under 3 years old). I do remember seeing his son Benjamin Henness there. He was only 17 or 18 when he passed. It's a neat place.

Henness in Australia

HennessFamily — 2007-03-03 03:00:19Z

Hello, I am researching the Henness family in Australia. I believe this family came to Aus about 1860, although not sure how. William Henness was about 14 and his parents (according to death cert) were Nicholas Henness (sea pilot) and Watkin Wynn or Wynn Watkin. William married Catherine McMenamin(unsure of exact spelling) around 1868 and had children, John, William, Nicholas(my g-grandfather), Henry, Mary A, Hannah, Catherine, Joseph & Martha(Twins) and Charles. William died in 1918 and Catherine died in 1939 and they are buried at Corrimal Cemetery.

Nicholas was born in Hill End NSW in 1872 and died in 1944 (buried at Wollongong RC Cemetery). Nicholas married Catherine Wood in 1894. She was born in 1875 (Lancaster, England) and died in 1952 (buried at Woronora RC Cemetery).

If anyone has any information at all on this family, please contact me. email: hennessfamily@bigpond.com

Thanks & Regards

Gail-
I never did understand who exactly you are searching for? Mom (Ruby) did go to a different place in Iowa for a few years during the WWII and lived with a friend or family. I can't remember the exact dates, places or people's names that she was with while her husband was overseas. I do remember she did Secretary work. She did have the brothers and sisters you listed.

Re: henness name

Ruby Huston (b:1924) was married to Norman (Gus) Deloyd Henness in Iowa. They have 2 children (Roger and Dixie). I am Roger. We have much info on Ruby family (Father-Denver Cleo Huston), (Mom-Margaret Swearinger).
We are still searching for Norman's Father's side of the family. His father was Robert Henness, Mom-Sadie Tinkham. We know Roberts parents were Peter H. Henness and Ida August Odell. We are stuck at this point!

Re: Please reply

2004-11-23 15:34:29Z

These are the only names that look familar to me:

Now what I am trying to figure out if this info is correct and how they are related to me.

Also provided to my Aunt Elnora was info on Benjamin Henness born 1760 died 02/23/1847 who married Dorcus Lee (General Robert Lee's Duaghter)
They had 9 children listed.

Benjamin's father is listed as a David Hennis married to a Sarah. No dates givien for them. And I have 6 children listed for them with estimated dates given.

I have these names on my tree also. The person to go to is my father, Jerald Raiff Henness (JerHenn@aol.com). He has a lot of information and also stays in contact with his Aunt who I believe has tons of information.

I wish I could have a great big poster with my family tree on it. It would make all this easier. We too have Joshua Lee Henness on our tree. My father is Jerald, his father is Marion, and his father is Fransis. Marion and Fransis are from Iowa. There is a very neat Henness Cemetary in Oskalooska Iowa. John and Ruth are buried there. They donated the land. Also there children, I forgot how many. But on son was Benjamin Henness who died when he was 17 and in the Cival War. Pretty neat.

groger1 — 2003-02-16 00:37:48Z

I have been doing research for over 20 years and have quite a few Henness names. I hope to retire in a few years so I'll have more time for this. I would like to hear from anyone who could help me in this research and maybe I can help you. My e-mail address is groger@bright.net. My research goes back to a Miles Hennis, who came to America back in the late 1500's or early 1600. And up to my grandchildren born in 1988, twins a boy and a girl. I would like to trace the Hennis(Henness) journey across the United States. We started on the East coast and have gone all the way to the West coast. Hope to hear from lots of other Henness'.

Hi again, if I read the chart right, we are first cousins,4 times removed. Please email me at henness@sbcglobal.net. I understand that there is usually a Henness reunion held every summer. But we felt we never fit in, so we didn't go. But now that the pieces have fallen into place, the next reunion you can count on seeing at least my wife and I there. I think it's usually held in Iowa.

Hi Lisa,
After searching for many, many years my husband clicked on that all important button and the Henness family tree fell into place. My name is Dwight Henness, son of Arthur K. Henness, son of George Henness, son of William and Mary Kniffen Henness. William was the son of Betsey Tigett and John Henness. I'm glad to finally find my family! My wife and I have searched for years. IThe children born to Arthur and Elizabeth Henness were/are: Ronald Henness, age 60, Dwight (me) age 57, Linda Weeks, age 56 and Carol Yates, age 51 and my sons, Arthur age 27 and Jeremy age 20. We have been in contact with a Jerry Henness in Northern California trying to establlish a connection and thanks to your hard work, we can put the puzzle together.

JR_Kearney — 2004-03-14 17:32:51Z

Thanks! I am very interested in the HENNESS family in Ross County, Ohio. I know that some were pioneers and were in the county about the time that Ohio became a state in 1803.

But I don't know whether there is a relationship between the early HENNESS family and my HENNESS line. The earliest that I know of in my HENNESS line is John W. HENNESS, who was born about 1833 in Virginia.

Re: WHERE WE CAME FROM

KathyCatlin28 — 2002-06-23 11:38:20Z

Hi Gary,
Saw your post on Miles Hennis and him being a glassblower.
Thought perhaps there could possibly be a connection with your Henness and my Hennis. I have not been able to trace my Hennis's back any further then James Hennis b.1834 in Delaware. Before him I am stumped, but a great many of my ancesters were glassblowers and I thought just maybe (with fingers crossed) I've found some of my family. Other states that I know of with my line in are: New Jersey (large amount) and Ohio. If there is anything you can help me with, I will be forever in your debt. Thanks, Kathy

Re: Henness info

KathyCatlin28 — 2002-06-23 11:38:20Z

Hi Gary,
Wondering if you have any Hennis's from the Delaware or New Jersey area. My Gggrandfather was James Hennis, I'm not sure where he was born but it was about 1834. I believe he had a brother named David, I have no other info on siblings or his parents.
Thanks for your time, Kathy (Pitasmom50@aol.com)

HENNESS vs ARNESS in the 1880 Census

RogerKearney — 2003-06-15 01:19:05Z

My grandmother, Mattie L. (Martha Louise) HENNESS KEARNEY has been a mystery for some time. I was told that she was born in Ross County, Ohio in 1870, but I could not find the John W. HENNESS family in the 1880 census. But I knew she married my grandfather, Abraham Lincoln KEARNEY, in 1893 in Ross County.

Several days ago I found them in the 1880 census on Family Search. While I could not find them under the name HENNESS, when I searched for just the first name "Mattie" I found her and the entire household - listed under the name ARNESS. The birthdates and names of both parents and all siblings matched my records. It is easy to see how a handwritten HENNESS might look like ARNESS to the person typing the information. Of course, I was fortunate that the name started with an "A".

searching Birth name Betty J. Henness adopted name Virginia A. Nuessle. born 1946

mrsvirgo1975 — 2005-08-03 04:43:25Z

My maiden name is Henness. My father is Douglas Ray Henness (born 02/02/1945) married my Mom Brenda Lee Kingsbury born 11/04/1946. My dad had a sister who's birth name was Betty J. Henness.

His father (my grandfather) was George Henness born Aug. 21 1917 and died Feb. 9 1994. His mother a Naomi Jenkins AKA Peggy. George had an uncle named Theodore Henness born Nov. 15 1909. who was married to Elnora E. Henness born Feb. 26 1915.

Elnora was married to Theodore's brother first until his death that's when she married him. Theodore and Elnora adopted my father from George and raised him as there own. As far as I know they where all born some where in the Fulton, West Fulton New York area.

Now my dad was adopted in July 20, 1948, Delaware Co. NY by Mr. & Mrs. Theodore Henness (his great uncle and aunt). His sister was adopted also but by a family in Holland Patent, NY and renamed Virginia A. Nuessle. Her adopted parents names where Don and Shirley Nuessle I believe. She was adopted in 07/20/1948 or shortly before or after.

My Mom grow up with her that's how she meet my dad. But as the yrs went by she lost touch with my aunt and my dad left us. I am trying to find my aunt and have no idea how to go about this.

I am looking for my aunt or anyone who ever knew her or her adopted family. I am working on the Henness family tree and need to get more info on her and the adopted family.

If you have anything that ties your info to my info I would greatly appreciate it, or if you have any ideas on where to point me that to would be greatly appreciated.

If any one has any info on my aunt or how to research finding her me please contact me at Mrsvirgo1975@aol.com.I can be reached thru email, phone 315-336-1048 or mail @ Lisa M. Russell 50 Shady Grove Rome, NY 13440.

I appreciate any help any one can give me.
