1861 to 1898

Evans Henneghan is the oldest son of Henry and Kizziah Henneghan. His brothers and sisters are Sebron, Willie, Mary and James Henneghan. His father, Henry Henneghan, is the oldest son of Harry and Juda Henagan and brother of Wesley Henagan

Evans parents, Henry and Kizziah and his Grand parents Harry and Juda were born into slavery in the Pee Dee area of South Carolina. They were the property of Dr. Barnabas Kelet Henagan, who was a two term Senator, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of Sate and Governor of South Carolina

According to the information found on the 1870 census, Evans was the oldest son of Henry and Kizziah Henneghan. At the time of that census he is six years old, which puts him as being born around 1864. He and two other siblings, Sebron, age 5 and Willie age 3, were living in the home with their parents.

On the census of 1880, Evans is nineteen years old, a three year discrepancy in the age recorded on the 1870 census. This puts him being born around 1861

Evans had apparently died some time before 1898.

The census of 1900, lists his widow Victoria, as the wife of James Evans. She and James have been married for two years. These children, (Evans and Victoria's) Kizziah N, age 11, Nannie, age 9, James E, age 6 and Elizabeth, age 3, are listed as stepchildren to James, Victoria is recorded as having given birth to six children, only five are living. Also there is a child named Isaac Evans, he is two years old, and is listed as a son to James. Mary Jordan, age 2 is listed as a grandchild to James.

THE STORY OF HARRY AND JUDA HENAGAN

WE ARE THE HENAGAN'S

The correct spelling of our last name is H-E-N-A-G-A-N (Henagan). There are no other correct versions of our last name. The name Henagan was the last name of the people who enslaved our ancestors.

Slaves were not allowed to learn how to read and write. Slaves did not have identification cards with their name age and date of birth. Slaves did not have birth certificates or social security cards. The only thing that matter to the slave master was the age and sex of the slave. Slaves were not treated as humans but as animals. Just like a horse or a cow, a slave did not have a last name nor did they know their date of birth, it did not matter.

The slaves were freed in 1863. In the state of South Carolina, slaves were not really free until the end of the Civil war in 1865.

Most former slaves used the last name of the people who owned them during slavery.

The first time freed slaves had an opportunity to record their name and date of birth was during the 1870 census (5 years after the Civil War). The process of completing the census for a former slave was simply to give their complete name, age, date of birth and address and hope that the person who took that information spelled it correctly. We could not tell them how to spell our names correctly. In most cases we could not read or write.

That’s why our last name was spelled several different ways. For that reason, some of us spell our name Henneghan, some spell it Hennigan, some spell it Henigan, etc.

The correct way to spell our last name is H-E-N-A-G-A-N

We have to remember that Slavery In America was inhumane, and atrocious with heinous crimes committed by the slaver that stack all the way up to Heaven.
