Notes - Henninghan was the second wife of Benjamin Cannon. Her surname is not known, but she may be a relation of George Carrington, whose mother and daughter were both named Henningham
Henningham Kannon is listed in the 1800 census for Stokes Co. NC. 1800 Census Stokes County North Carolina, Roll 32, p. 559. Her household includes 3 males under 10, 1 female 10-15, and 1 female 26-45. Based on her age given in the 1800 census, Henningham was born between 1755 and 1774.
Following Benjamin’s death, Henningham continued to live in Stokes Co. In 1805, she deeded her one-third share of Benjamin Cannon’s land to Joseph Smith. In 1809, Henningham Cannon and Caty Melvin, daughter of Benjamin Cannon, conveyed a one-third share of Benjamin Cannon’s land to Daniel Smith and his wife Molly, who was also “one of the legatees” of Benjamin Cannon. The deed refers to a contract between Henningham Cannon and the legatees of Benjamin Cannon. Apparently, Henningham and the children of Benjamin Cannon made an agreement regarding the division of the land and the deed was pursuant to the agreement. The date of the agreement is not given and no details of the agreement are stated in the deed. The number and names of the children are not given, other than Caty and Molly. It is possible that the children of Benjamin Cannon who moved to Tennessee gave up claims to any land in Stokes Co. in exchange for payment.
Note that George Carrington, who conveyed property to Benjamain Cannon in Cumberland Co. also had a daughter named Henningham who married John Bernard in Cumberland Co. VA on 30 July 1767.
