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.
