Historical events in our nations past are taught in our schools in hopes our children will appreciate the sacrifices so many made to give us our freedoms, yet future generations no not the reality of hardships endured by our ancestors, as so many have no links to the past. So I hope by sharing a little family history I’ll be able to give others a little perspective.

 

The earliest descendants of the earliest Henion emigrant to America, Nathaniel Henion is believed to be one of the first Henions that arrived in the new world. Henions are believed to be French Huguenots who emigrated to Holland in the late 1500’s and 1600’s. French Huguenots suffered greatly at the hands of the Orthodox Church in France and had to flee for their safety. It is believed that most Henions are related to Nathaniel Piertrse Henion and Ann Ackerman. Nathaniel was born in Leydon, Holland and emigrated to New Amsterdam (now New York City) America around 1662. He married Anne Davids Ackerman on June 28, 1664 in New Amsterdam. Anne was the daughter of David Ackerman and Elizabeth Beffiers. Nathaniel and Anne had eleven children. They were: David Danielse, b. 7/1/1665; Hester B. 6/12/1167; Elizabeth, b. 3/26/1670; Catherine, b. 2/17/1673; Rachel, b. 9/22/1675; Anna, b. About 1677; Peter, b. 4/5/1679; Rachel (2nd), b. 4/19/1681; John, b. 7/11/1683; Aeltie, b. 11/15/1685; and Abraham, b. 4/11/1688. Most of the children spelled their name with two N’s as “Hennion”, and some even took on the name Danielson or Daniels. They were in New York City for awhile, and some moved to Bergen (now Jersey City). They married into Dutch and English families. The family began to branch out, some moved to present day Ramapo and Paramus New Jersey which is on the New York, New Jersey state side. In the late 1600’s the state line was not at its present boundary. The Henions lived in Airmont, Tappan, Nyack, etc. The early families traveled back and forth between New York City and New Jersey. Nathaniel and Anne’s children married as follows: David D. married Antje Jans Straetmaker. They had six children, son’s John, Nathaniel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and a daughter Elenore. Elizabeth married Joost Lynse at NYC. Catherine married Peter Burger. Peter married Maria Van Ort. Aelite married Jesse Easton, while the remaining are family has no record of but other Henions no doubt have their history.

 

J. W. Henion was born at Plymouth, Wayne county, Michigan, April 8th, 1832. When yet a child he accompanied his parents to New York, where he remained until 1854, when he came to Minnesota and located at Anoka. When the St. Paul and Pacific railroad was built through Anoka, Mr. Henion accepted the position of station agent. In 1866 he was appointed agent at St. Anthony, here he served until a station was established on the west side when he took charge of it in 1867 and held the position of general station agent until January 1st, 1880. Mr. Henion is one of the oldest station agents west of Chicago, having held that office continually for seventeen years. In 1878 he was treasurer and one of the directors of the Street Railway company. Mr. Henion was married at Anoka, January 1st, 1857, to Miss Emily Robbins. They have one child, Grace.

My great grandfather, David Todd Henion was born in Marcellus, Mi. on Dec. 14, 1881, and when I was young I played checkers with him at his residence in Jefferson, Oregon and while he and his wife, and my father and mother were members of the World Wide Church of God my grandfather, Lester Charles Henion and his wife were members of the Scravel Hill (nicknamed "Squabble Hill" because of its many doctrinal disputes) and even allowed Hebert to preach there for awhile until disagreements were formulated about the holy days (Note: According to COG7 member Orville Traver, Elder Ray Benight said that he and Alice Henion (brother & sister) were baptized in 1930 in the Dever District in a creek six miles west of Jefferson, Oregon, by Elder Stith. They were ages 16 and 14 respectively. Alice Henion Benight said that Stith also baptized Herbert Armstrong, near Salem.). My great grandfather’s father was Charles Henry Henion, born in New York in 1846. Charles Henry married Adelaide Cornish in Van Burren County Michigan. They had six children, Peter Denson, born July 6, 1876; Markus Laffitte, born Dec. 16, 1878; Charles Barnum, born Sept. 22, 1880; David Todd born, Dec. 14, 1881; Samuel J., born July 15, 1885 and Emma, born in 1892. Charles Henry’s father (my great, great, great grandfather) was Peter Henion, born in New York in 1813. Peter lived with his son in and around Lawton, Michigan, Van Burren County. Peter married Elizabeth Bouman, also born in New York. My great grand father was the only one of the boys to move out west. The others lived most of their lives in Michigan with the exception of Samuel who lived many years in Nebraska. Samuel returned to Michigan in his elder years. My father, David Charles and uncle Loyd, have many Henion cousins who live in and around Lawton, Marcellus, and Kalamazoo, Michigan who are descendants of Peter, Mark and Samuel Henion.

 

Peter who went to Lawton, MI evidently was a son of a Peter Henion.  His sister Ann had a son William evidently born before she married Charles Creagor/Creager later spelled Kraiger.  He seemed to have brothers John and George and probably a sister Ann who also went to Lawton, MI, with her second husband.  Ann's son William later used the Kraiger surname.  Charles Kraiger died in Orange Co., NY, and is buried at the Presbyterian Churchyard in Chester, NY.  Ann then married William Doyle, a shoemaker.  They both had children at the time.  Together they had a son Peter Doyle.  So Ann (Henion) and William Doyle and their children moved to Lawton, MI, lived a long life and died in MI.  The Kraigers had family reunions so some info we got from them.  A couple of sons of Peter b. about 1813 attended the Kraiger family reunions. One problem we have is that three possible children of Peter Henion b. 1776 have overlapping birthdates.  This is not so unusual I guess as after they are dead their children try to remember how old they were and frequently the dates on cemetery stones are wrong or the person giving the info for the death certificate is unsure and a mistake is made.  I think we have three different birth years for Ann.

 

We have no proof but we have a birthrate for Peter of 14 July 1776 and his parents we believe were John and Sara Henion. This John we presume to be a son of Daniel Hennion and Lena Andriessen Cadmus.  There is no proof of this but it is a logical conclusion.  Peter of 1776 was bp. in Pompton, NJ.  His witness was Peter Henion who was likely John Henion's brother Peter.  We don't know the maiden name of Sara, mother of Peter b. 1776.  We do know of a Susan Henion who was a daughter of a Susan Seeley who could have married Peter b. 1776.  Susan married a different Peter B. Henion.  Susan's name was Conklin then so she was likely a widow of a Conklin.  We just don't have answers for everything because there aren't enough records available, but we keep working on it. As reported by Cheryl Hennion Hahn.

 

I’m the only one in my family, the descendants of my great grandfather, David Todd Henion who joined the U. S. Armed Forces, a tour of duty in the U. S. Navy. My immediate family is diverse in worship spread between the United, World Wide, Marion Church of God and 7th Day. I guess you would call me a rebel because I believe in defending the constitution even if I must fight to preserve those rights, while the Civil War made such a great impact on Henions, many vowed never to fight again, as in the case of my great grandfather and his brothers and father.

Armstrong's Church of God known as World Wide Church of God (Early on - Radio Church of God - Plain Truth Magazine) compatriots such as Helms, Ellis, Walker, Barnes and Kiesz are men that the man who wrote the article on the church knew. They told him what HWA was like and what he did. He is familiar with Andrew N. Dugger, COG7 leader who helped Armstrong in the early years. Pioneer members of Armstrong's church, such as the Fishers, Conns, Eva Bodenhamer, Amy Larson, the Henions and many others told me about Armstrong and the Church of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Yet with all this data, there are many nagging, unanswered questions. Herbert Armstrong is a "man nobody knows." (Herbert W. Armstrong: 1892-1986). I know these people to and living through it as a child, I can tell you Armstrong was a good man but he was not what people believed and I ran from his teachings as fast as I could and joined the Navy. http://www.giveshare.org/library/hwa/hwabio.html

My father now is proud of me I'm sure, but when I joined the Navy he boycotted my graduation. Now he’s a constitutional ranger as many years ago he evolved and followed his personal religious beliefs rather then an institution or a man. Sometimes you have to break out for yourself and your own ideas.

My great grandfather David Todd Henion married Verda Van Nostrand and they had one boy, my grandfather and 6 daughters. My grandfather Charles Lester was born Sept. 6, 1911; Lena, born May 19, 1909; Esther, born Jan 13, 1913; Vera, born July 4, 1915 all born in a sod house built in the sand hills of Nebraska on a land claim. Life was difficult in the sand hills. The winters were long and the blizzards took their toll on human and live stock alike, so my great grandparents moved their family to Fairview, Oklahoma in July 1915 where Hazel was born March 21, 1916 and Gladys July 7, 1921. Oklahoma was not an easy place in which to make a living for a large family. Year after year it was difficult to raise good crops with insufficient water. The wells would run dry for lack of rainfall and the fields would truly become a dust bowl, so the decision was made to move to Kansas in 1926 where Lavonne was born Dec. 10, 1926. In 1929, my great grandfather moved his family to Michigan where he bought some property from his brother Markus Laffitte. When my grandfather was nineteen, still living with his father, mother and sisters, the family moved to Soldler, Kansas in 1930. In 1934 everyone moved to Jefferson, Oregon via Oklahoma, Dodge City, Kansas, Denver, Salt Lake City, Boise, Portland and finally down 99-E to Salem and to the Jellison’s front yard, friends of my family. My grandfather married Alice Benight October 5, 1934 and they would stay in Oregon for the remainder of their lives, my grandmother living on the family farm, where my father and I live in Jefferson, Oregon. As a result of my father and uncle, my grandparents have seven grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren and from my grandfathers sisters off spring, twenty nieces and nephews, while my grandmother’s family history dates back to the mayflower and when she was a young girl, crossed the Oregon Trail from Missouri on a covered wagon. The majority of the decedents of David Todd and Verda Van Nostrand’s off spring are presently living in the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

Keeping track of the Henion family tree is my uncle’s job and he believes that Peter Henion (my great, great, great grandfather) may be the brother of Milliard Fillmore Henion, the grandfather of Harry Dexter Henion whose son was Dexter Leeroy Henion, the father of Linda Sappington (Henion) St. George, Utah. Harry Dexter Henion’s great grandfather was Abraham Henion, his great, great grandfather was Tunis Henion and his great, great, great grandfather was David Peterson Henion. In 1986, I fail from a roof and broke my neck and as a result never had children.

 

A friend of my uncle, Loyd Henion, David Henry Henion’s (his prodigy number is vxkwigb) great grandmother was a Henion. Her father was William Edward Henion whose father was Martin Henion. Martin married Leah and was born in Mahwah (Hohokus/Ramsey) New Jersey. David Henry told my uncle an interesting story I hope one day can be verified. Rumor has it that General Washington spent a few days at the Henion mansion in Hohokus, and had his men and horses fed with goods from David Henry's ancestor. For this the family was given a citation from the Continental Congress. This was while General Washington was on leave from West Point. The table he had tea on is still in the family.

My uncle had a conversation with a Henry Henion’s widow years ago, and he was told that Henry was president of a large Civil Engineering firm in Chicago that designed large buildings and airports. Henry designed the Philadelphia airport and the jet ways we all walk on when entering the airplane and my Uncle, former Economic and Financial Manger and Planner for the Oregon Department of Transportation was invited to view the patents. The jetways apparently were originally referred to by some as, “Henion gangplanks”.

Henry Henion’s widow also told my Uncle that Henry was related to Aaron Burr, the infamous Vice President of the United States under Tomas Jefferson. It was Burr you may recall who shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. She further told my Uncle, that it was Colonel Henion that announced to the anxious crowd that President Abraham Lincoln was dead. There is a letter written by one of the middle aged unmarried sisters to the other unmarried sister, explaining the circumstance of their brother making the announcement. Today, the letter is in a museum in Chicago and explains how there brother spent that fated evening at the boarding house across from Ford’s theater. My uncle also as a copy of a letter from Colonel Henion to his sister, mentioning how heart wrenching it was to watch Mrs. Lincoln and Todd as they sobbed in the bedroom where the great man lie prostrate. It was the Colonel’s duty to search all who wanted entry to the boarding house.

In a book titled the International Workers of the World, the IWW or the “Woblies” was a radical labor union during the 1920 and 30’s in which Fred Henion was a signer of the original charter.

In 1994, IX Corps was deactivated, and the 9th Theater Army Area Command was activated in its place. My tour of duty in the U.S. Navy was 22 August 1977 to 18 February 1983

IX Corps Commanders - Camp Zama ... 16 May 77 - 23 May 80: LTG John Q. Henion USARJ - 9th TSC Camp Zama, JAPAN http://www.usarj.army.mil/history/ix_commanders.htm

In 1916 a drive was made to pay off the mortgage of The Presbyterian Story Presbyterian Church, Marion N. Y. which was accomplished by 60 in which the Henion family took part.

CONKLIN family mainly in the Sloatsburg, Rockland County NY area and had connections to Bergen Co. and Passaic Co. NJ

John Hiram CONKLIN was born 7 October 1865/1866 in NY (funeral record). The first record I have found for him is his marriage on 27 Nov 1886 to Delia FARRELL (daughter of John FARRELL and Bridget DEVINE) in Paterson, Passaic Co, NJ. According to their marriage certificate, Hiram was living in Allendale, NJ (Bergen Co.) and was the son of Hiram CONKLIN and Harriett CLARK. Hiram may have had a sister named Harriett Louise CONKLIN.

Hiram and Delia CONKLIN had the following known children, all born in NY:

1. William (b. Aug 1887, d. 1982, bur. Sloatsburg Cemetery) married Elizabeth HENION (1882-1967), d/o William HENION (1839-1908) and Jane KINCAID (1839-1916); known children: Dorothy(b. abt 1909) and Griswold (b. abt 1913).

2. Lillie May (b. Mar 1890) married Sylvester D. GANNON, s/o James GANNON and Maggie THORP on 28 July 1912 at Tuxedo NY.

3. Hattie (b. Dec 1891)
4. Annie (b. Jul 1894)
5. J. Hiram (b. Jul 1895)
6. Charles P. (b. Jan 1898)
7. Nora (b. Jan 1900)
8. Elijah (b. abt 1907), living with his father in Hohokus Twp, Bergen Co. NJ for 1920 census

Delia FARRELL CONKLIN died 10 Jan 1909 in the Town of Ramapo and was buried in Hohokus NJ (cemetery unknown). Hiram may have then married a widow named Anna GANNON (perhaps widow of William GANNON of Sloatsburg NY?). They were living in Hohokus Twp, Bergen Co. NJ for 1920 census. Hiram died 13 Nov 1931 in Morris Plains, NJ and was buried in Hohokus, NJ (cemetery unknown).

The Parish Register of St. John's in the Wilderness, Rockland Co. NY, shows Harriet Louise CONKLIN, baptized 1884, d/o Hiram CONKLIN and Harriet CLARK who might be Hiram's sister.

Children of William and Elizabeth (HENION)? Any cemeteries in Hohokus? Delia was the sister of Geralyn Barry’s g-gfather Dennis FARRELL of Paterson NJ. As reported by Wood Barry Corvallis, Oregon and believes Surnames to be HENION, CONKLIN, FARRELL, CLARK, DEVINE, KINCAID, GANNON, THORP gbarry@proaxis.com

Brian Drake has most of his Henion ancestors names back to his g-g-grandfather, Samuel Henyon (Henion,etc). He’s researching Samuel's parents and the last name of Samuel's wife Phebe (and her parents). According to naming patterns of the time, Samuel's father should be Henry (because Samuel's oldest son was named Henry). Samuel's parents were probably born about 1775, probably, as another post mentions, in Morris County or Bergen County, N.J. Vital records will shed some light. As reported by Brian Drake.

Joseph Hasbrouck Deyo, eldest son of Peter and Marie, married Mary Jane Henion. I am the eldest of their eight children. Their names were: Melvina, Henrietta, Isaac Davis, Milford Vernooy, Laura, Arthur Ferris, Fred Travis, and Mary.

My father and mother were married at Kingston, NY, May 30, 1845, at what is now the old Senate House but was then the Dutch Reform Parsonage.

My mother’s people were all members of that church, being part Holland Dutch.

My grandfather, Peter H. Deyo, was born September 21, 1797. His wife, Marie Freer Deyo, was born October 10, 1791.

My mother’s family I know but little. They were French, Holland, and Irish blood –the Deyos French and Holland Dutch.

Grandfather John Henion had two brothers, Peter and Henry. Peter I remember well. He lived at Rhinebeck, NY. Uncle Henry was a sailor. I never saw him. Two sisters, Betsy (I never saw her) and Hannah, unmarried, who used to visit us every year.

My grandmother Henion was Hulda Sleight, her mother Deborah Humphrey, and her grandmother was a Bevier.

General Humphrey of the Revolutionary War was my relative.

. . . the generations as far as I can tell them on grandmother Henion’s side: Clarissa Bevier, Mehitable Humphrey, Deborah Sleight, Hulda Henion, Mary J. Deyo, Melvina Deyo Story.

--(note: these are married names)

--written by Melvina I. (Deyo) Story

Note: This family seemed very conscious of their family history. Huldah Sleight Henion’s father was Daniel Sleight as is inscribed on the gravestone next to her mother’s name at Hurley Association Cemetery. As researched by Cheryl Hennion Hahn and Surnames are believed to be Henion, Sleight, Deyo, Humphrey, Bevier, Story, Freer and Hasbrouck.
