Johanna HENNEBERRY was my GGG Grandmother! I guess that makes us cousins! I'd be very interested to share information with you. My data shows 8 children for Johanna and Michael, maybe the others died before their mother? I'm also curious about the date on Johanna's stone, I wonder if that's the date I had.

Isn't the Internet great?!

I have done some research related to the Henneberry's on Devil's Island, and it was not uncommon for cousins to marry. At first, I found it very confusing, but there were few families on the island (Williams was one of the others), and many of the families on the island had one of the two names. They were not necessarily first cousins, but, it was explained to me by an older lady (whose maiden name was Henneberry, as well as her married name, as were her mother's) that they went to the church and were granted permission from the priest.

Hope you can email me re this: we have ggggrandmother susan johanna edwards who married Joseph McDermott in 1875. I think Susan was born about 1846 on Devil's island. her death certificate names her father as an Edwards (Thomas? writing is hard to discern) and her mother as ??MArgaret ( writing hard to figure out) Henneberry. Susan had an older sister Josephine Elizabeth. trying to get actual data on birth dertificates etc and where the parents Thomas and ?Margaret ended up.
