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.
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.

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.
