72 of our Ancestor's owned by Barnabas Kelet Henagan at the time of his death in January of 1855. There are some slaves with the same first name. Barnabas Kelet Henagan owned several tracks of land such as Catfish Plantation, Grove Land Plantation and Cannon Land Plantation. Our Ancestors were slaves on these plantations. By 1860, 5 years after his death, there were only 43 slaves listed as property of James Henagan (Barnabas Kelet Henagan's son) in the Census of 1860. We can only assume that some of our ancestor's died and some where sold. The 1860 Census did not list the names of slaves only the sex of the slave, any special skill of the slave and whether the slave was a mulatto.
On January 5, 1858, (three years after Barnabas Kelet Henagan's death), his widow Anna Maria Henagan petition the Honorable Chancellor of South Carolina in Marion County seeking to claim her dower. Barnabas Kelet Henagan died in 1855 and possessed several tracks of land and 72 slaves. He bequeath to his widow Anna Maria Henagan a life estate and 19 slaves; the remaining estate was to be divided among his children, including seven of the defendants. James J. Harllee, John W. Henagan and James N Henagan, as executors, took possession of the lands and slaves in the estate. They used the property to produce several crops and have kept the profits, claiming that they needed the money to pay the estate's debts. Contending that all such debts have by now been discharged, the widow represents that she is anxious to receive her legacy but that said executors have refused her request. She also argues that she has a right to one third of the lands in the estate as part of her dower, and therefore, one third of the crops raised. She also wants to take possession of the 19 slaves specifically bequeathed to her. Anna Maria Henagan therefore prays that the court will grant unto her a "writ of Admeasurement of Dower," authorizing "suitable persons" to "admeasure and set apart to your Oratrix her dower or thirds in the aforesaid tracts of land." Her request was "granted pro confeso." During her petition, the 72 slaves were named (first name only because slaves did not have last names). Godfrey Henneghan, a descendent of the 72 slaves gave them there last name 160 years later.

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.
