Mr. and Mrs. Martin Hessian, Jr., who resides at the corner of Western avenue and Pine street, are passing through the deep waters of affliction in the death of their daughter, Rose Hessian, who passed away yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, aged four years and two months. Her death was the result of spamotic croup and the fond parents are sorely afflicted in their great loss. Little Rose was a bright child and in their bereavement the sorrowing ones have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends. The funeral will be held from St. Patrick's church tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. The interment will be in Mount Olivet cemetery.

Hession/Hessian families of Amesbury, Mass.

tomlally712 — 2005-06-29 06:33:21Z

I am looking for information on he Hession families of Amesbury, Mass. I am descended from Patrick HESSIAN and his wife Julia. Who was his father? One source I have says Michael and Mary HESSION were his parents, but there were several Michael HESSIONs and a few Patrick HESSIONs in Amesbury and I'm having trouble sorting them out.

Patrick and Julia both died before 1880, and their children were living with their uncle Michael HESSION and his family. The household had two ANNIE Hessions -- one the daughter of Patrick and Julia, and the other the daughter of Michael and Hannah. And both Annie's were the same age.

Any and all info on any of the Hessions / Hessians of Amesbury would be greatly appreciated.

Stacy,

Try:

I just went there,and that is the correct URL. Maybe the lack of .CFM on the old URL was the problem.

What's your history?

Hessian Surname

darcydawn7777 — 2003-04-24 05:03:24Z

Kathleen, sorry for not getting to this sooner! Thank you for your response in December --- wow, time flies! My ggrandmother, (Margaret Hessian)'s son, Thomas Coyne (which was also her second husband's name) was born in 1874 . . . her husband Thomas Coyne was born in Ireland in 1836. She was born in Tuam,Ireland (haven't been able to ever find a birth date or age for her -- although we do believe from pictures that she was older than her second husband -- so it wouldn't surprise me if she was born around 1828 to 1830ish) and came to the states with her mother and we think a sister. She married a Mr. Larkin and had a daughter (Julia) with her first husband. She was 16 when she married him. They lived in Cinncinati, Ohio. (He later died). I believe Thomas, her son, was the youngest of her second family - Edward, James, Margaret (Aunt Maggie), and Thomas... so she was older when she had them. Have you found anymore information about your Hessians? I hope she was related in some way . . . I am finding NO information about any Hessians in the States (or Ireland for that matter). Sure hope I can link something up in Ireland. Please stay in touch. Thanks!

Re: HESSIAN

My ggrandmother, Margaret Hessian came to the states from Galway, Ireland in, approx. 1850. She was born in Tuam. It is believed that she came with her mother and a sister (possibly others, but can't confirm that so far). They settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. So there were definitely Hessian's in the states before 1900, as you stated. I am in touch with a Hessian relative down in Australia . . . and it appears that her greatuncle, Thomas and (not sure yet) Michael (who MIGHT be Margaret's father) were brothers. They ended up in Minnesota. Darcy :)

Sudbury_Bowker — 2003-04-11 07:53:46Z

Hello Stacy,

I also have the Hessian name in my genealogy. My Great Great Grandmother was named Eliza Hessian. She married Martin Murphy in Ireland. We are currently trying to determine where. We believe it is court, but when I look at Griffiths Valuation of Ireland from 1848-1864, I discovered that out of 97 Hessian households listed on the survey, 93 of them were in County Galway or County Mayo which is rather far from County Cork in 18/19 century travel circumstances.

Hessian is a rare surname, so I am always interested in anyone that has the surname in their background. I do not know the name of Eliza Hessian's father, but her Mother was named Mary Connell. They came to the USA in 1864. Someone said there were no Hessians in the USA before the 1900, but my ancestors disprove that.

Not sure if you know any Hessian's from County Cork, but I would be very interested if you do. It may be though that Martin Murphy and Eliza Hessian came from Galway and the reference to County Cork refers to the Hayes/Costello side of my family. Not sure, still trying to figure all this out.

Hi Peter, I know it has been a while since you wrote this message, but I was wondering if you had contacted Barry or have any info for me on the Hessians. Just to refresh you memory, I am looking into Thomas Hessian from Galway, Ireland. Thank you. Stacy

Hession

Kathleen_Ewen — 2002-10-13 01:10:28Z

Darcy,
My grandfather, Michael Joseph Hession, b abt 1886, came from the parish of Kilkerrin, outside Tuam. His sister, Margaret Hession, was born abt 1880 and settled in the US abt 1900. This is later than your Margaret, but perhaps this family is related. The earliest Hession ancestor I have is Nicholas Hession, born abt 1800. He had a son, Thomas (b abt 1835) and very likely a son named Patrick. They came from the townland of Cloonconore.

Kathleen_Ewen — 2002-10-13 01:10:28Z

Darcy,
I think that I failed to respond to your message. If so, I apologize. I don't know of any Hessions/Hessians who came to the US before 1900. However, it is possible that your Margaret was the sister of my ggrandfather, Thomas. Often names were repeated over and over in Irish families. I don't know how we could confirm this, since civil registration for births did not start until 1864. I found Thomas in the 1901 Irish Census and his father, Nicholas, in Griffith's valuation. I also found Thomas' marriage entry (civil registration)in 1869. In that record there is a Patrick Hession listed as a witness. I am assuming that he was Thomas' brother. Unfortunately, there are no other records. It appears that the parish records for Kilkerrin were burned in a church fire. Have you visited the Hession site yet? You may find it helpful in your search.

I am looking for any information regarding my great grandmother, Margaret Hessian Coyne.
She was born in Tuam, Ireland (we guess around 1840ish). She moved to the U.S. with her mother and a sister - no names - when she was 11 yrs. old. She married a Mr. Larkin when she was 16 and they had a daughter named Julia Larkin (who married a Mr. Doyle. After Mr. Larkin died, she married my grandfather Thomas Coyne. They moved to Grand Meadow, Minnesota where they had Thomas, Edward, James, and Margaret Coyne. If anyone has ANY information about Margaret Hessian (from Ireland), please contact me, I'd like to find out more!!

Hello,

I'm new to the board, but I can give you one super-duper resource:

Go to this web address:

http://scripts.ireland.com/ancestor/surname/index

Type in the name Hessian and see the variations on the spelling and places where Hessians/Hesians/Hushins, etc. lived.

I too would like the name/address/e-mail of the person who has the Hessian history.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Hi, I read your message and was interested because I have a Thomas Hessian (my GGGrandfather) who lived in County Galway, Ireland. He had a son also named Thomas who eventually moved to the United States. One of Thomas' son's names was Robert- my Grandfater. I don't know if there were any other siblings or not. Any information would be great. Thanks.
