Samuel Thomas Hennington, born 25 December 1841, is my second cousin, two times removed. He was the son of Rev.Joseph Edward Hennington and Jane Flowers.
During the Civil War he served in the 37th MS Infanty, Co. G. He enlisted when he was 18 years old to replace his father who served in the same regiment, and had become disabled. Among the many battles he was active in, he saw action at Vicksburg, where his unit was posted in the trench-lines, near the 36th MS posiiton.
Along with all the Confederate regiments, he was captured on July 4, 1863.
After the war, he returned to his home in Crystal Springs, in Copiah County, Mississippi. He married Mary Elizabeth Cook, known as "Molly" in Copiah County on 10 January 1871. Molly was the daughter of Daniel Brown Cook and Adah (Addy) Lee. She was born in Crystal Springs on 22 November 1846. She died in 1918.
Samuel was a Farmer, and stayed in Crystal Springs with his family until his death.
Samuel and Molly had the following children, all born in Crystal Springs:
Lenora Hyland b.1871 m. James William Joiner
Joseph Issac (Dr.Joe) b. 12 Nov 1874 d. 24 June 1942 m. Jeannie Irene Coogler
