The Future of Hennington Research

To: All of the Hennington Family"
Whatever your last name is.

My parents Roy and Lily Hennington researched and compiled "The History of Hennington and Related Families" then published it in 1973. It has been my pleasure to be able to print and sell copies since their death. For many years I researched, collected and filed additional information about the family. In 2001 I pulled that information along with chapters contributed by others and published "Sequel To The History of Hennington and Related Families". Until just recently, I continued to collect information and update the Hennington database as well as sell additional copied of both "The History of Hennington ...""and "Sequel...". Health issues indicate that I should retire and pass the baton to someone else.

Gayle Van Horn is my 2nd cousin. To explain our relationship, we both have the same great-grandfather, William Garrison Hennington, son of Rev John. Gayle contributed several chapters of the Sequel. She and her husband Larry are both hard working, active genealogy researchers. When I approached Gayle about taking over the Hennington books and database, she indicated she would be honored.

Response from Gayle Hennington Van Horn - February 4, 2012
The Future of Hennington Research

My sincere thanks to my cousin Bryan Hennington, for entrusting me with the legacy of the Hennington family research. Bryan and his parents gathered a remarkable amount of family information, and I am indeed honored to be entrusted to continue this quest.

At this time, I continue to peruse the photos, documents, files and database from decades of research from these three dedicated researchers. In the future I will make a decision what the next step will be, in terms of publishing.

Larry and I continue to uncover new and surprising facts on the early Hennington's, as well as related families. We are presently in the planning stages for a new research trip to the South Carolina archives.

On a related subject I hope that a few of you will consider taking an autosomal DNA test at Ancestry.com.  This DNA looks at your entire chart not just the top or bottom as Y-DNA or mitochondral DNA test do.  This is probably the single most important genealogical record you can leave behind for your family and  future generations.

The test is simple, painless, secure and as DNA test go very inexpensive. If you are  an Ancestry,com member, they have been running $99. No longer do you need a male Hennington family member  to prove your Hennington or any other ancestral line through DNA. Ladies we can now test for all our lines. I would hope that a few of you will take the DNA test so we can continue to verify not only our lines via the paper trail but through science as well. We also have at FTDNA a Hennington Y-DNA project and if you are a Hennington surnamed male, please consider  taking that test also. Brian and his nephew have, so we have descendants of Rev. John. We certainly could use  other Hennington male lines to test, especially off of Rev Henry.

If you should take one of these test, please contact me via email so that I can help you understand the test  results in the context of what has already been done. I can say that my AncestryDNA autosomal DNA test has been very eye opening and well worth the $99 and has now verified many of my ancestor paper trail lines through DNA. It is remarkable how far this has come.

Family and DNA test information is always welcome and may be sent to gayleh@brmemc.net.

From time to time I post Hennington and related families on this blog, so please recheck often.

Keep digging folks !

Benjamin David Hennington featured in new book

Images of America-Remembering Mississippi's Confederates
 
Jeff T. Giambrone has recently released a new book featuring the photos and stories of Mississippi Confederate soldiers. One of the featured soldiers is my cousin, Benjamin David Hennington. He served in the 16th Mississippi, Company C.

The book description at Amazon includes;
The Confederate States of America engaged in a battle for national survival that lasted four long and incredibly bloody years. The conflict went on for so long because thousands of rebels were willing to lay down their lives and defend their homes to the last man and last cartridge. Many of these soldiers were Mississippians. Approximately 78,000 citizens of the Magnolia State can be documented as having served in the Civil War. Of this number, over 27,500 died either of disease or in combat. Remembering Mississippi's Confederates is a photographic tribute to the men who fought so gallantly for their state. Many of the  images in this volume have never been published and come from the proud descendants of the soldiers themselves;  others were acquired from collections spread across the United States.
B.D. Hennington is featured in the Mississippians in the Army of Northern Virginia chapter. Blogs readers may  recall my former post of August 4, 2008, The Life and Times of Dr. Benjamin David Hennington and his Family Group Sheet. You may find both by entering Benjamin Hennington in the above Search tab.

Researching my cousin and his family, has been one of the more interesting individuals I have worked on. He served gallantly with many cousins and neighbors under Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson during many campaigns and battles.



Benjamin David Hennington enlisted as a private in the "Crystal Springs Southern Rights," Company C, 16th Mississippi Infantry, in the spring of 1861. In April 1863, he was promoted to lieutenant, and while fighting  at the battle of the Wilderness the next year, he lost his sword.Hennington survived the war and became a doctor in Lawrence County, Mississippi. In 1913, James R. Wood, who served in the 6th US Calvary during the Battle of the Wilderness, put an advertisement in the Times-Picayune of New Orleans seeking to return to its rightful owner a sword he had picked up during the fighting. He was able to identify the Confederate soldier by the name and unit engraved on the scabbard: "B.D. Hennington, 16th Mississippi." Apparently, Woods was successful in his efforts, for Hennington proudly posed for this portrait holding his long-lost sword.

Larry and I would like to thank Jeff Giambrone for his kind assistance in publishing an excellent book and including a favorite cousin.

Mom's Classic Lemon Pie

Thanks to those that responded to my post of Granny's Black Walnut pie. It was even a hit in England! This afternoon I've delved into my mother's old recipe box again, to find another favorite from our family. It was always popular at many church socials, birthdays, and Sunday dinners. This one also calls for cooking over hot water in a double boiler. I hope you enjoy this ... I am proud to pass it along ! Any excuse is a good excuse to bake a pie !!!!


                                                             Mom's Classic Lemon Pie

2 TBsp. corn startch or flour
3/4 Cup sugar (a bit more if you like it sweeter)
1 Cup boiling water
1/4 Cup lemon juice
1 TBsp. butter
3 eggs yolks (save the egg whites for the meringue)
pinch of salt
grated rind of half of a lemon

Combine the flour and 3/4 cup of sugar. Add water slowly, stirring constantly. Cook over hot water in a double boiler, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth. Add the slightly beaten egg yolks, butter, lemon rind and juice, plus a few grains of salt (just a pinch). Cook for two minutes.

Pour into a prebaked pastry shell. Cover with meringue made from the three egg whites and three tablespoons of sugar. If you like an extra high or thick meringue, I like to use an extra two egg whites and an extra tablespoon of sugar for each egg white.

Bake in a slow oven at 325 F for 20 minutes.

Enjoy !!!

Granny's Old Southern Recipes

One of the great things about doing genealogy, is finding old family recipes. The older the better, and if it's on an old tattered page or card, that's even better. My mother and plenty of aunts and cousins traded their recipes, and each wrote their comments such, "too tarty," " a big hit" and "he loved it!."
All of these "oldies" were before the days of microwaves and the great kitchen gadgets we love today. The following calls for a double boiler - and yes, I still have my mom's !

This recipe is from 1946, and my mom noted, "very good and very rich."  It sounds delicious !

                                                       BLACK  WALNUT   PIE

1 Cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1/2 Cup chopped nuts

1/8 tsp. salt

1 1/2  Cup milk, scalded

3 Tbsp  corn starch

1 tsp vanilla

1 Tbsp melted butter

Combine sugar, butter, corn starch, and milk. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. Cook over hot water (use a double boiler) until thick and smooth. Add slightly beaten egg yolks. Cook 1 minute. Add nuts and flavoring . Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into baked pastry shell. Bake in a moderate oven at 400F until filling is firm.
