Re: Hennis from West Virginia UPDATE
Just learned from re-reading the letters that the wife of John was Matilda Davis the daughter of Jemima Hennis(?) Davis and Mathew Davis. This now brings up the question, what really is Jemima's maiden name? Marriage record says Hannas which is awful close to Hennis. Coiincidence or did Jemima's daughter marry someone from her mother's family. I do know that by the 1880 census, Matilda was no longer listed in the census, just John and the kids. One more puzzle. I've found lots of Hennis nearby but never anything on a Hannas.
