Aswell of 109
My ggrandmother was Theressa Hennis. She was married to Walker
Gann. Theressa's father was James Winfield Hennis who was
brother to Celia Hennis. Their parents were Benjamin T. Hennis
and Hester ? Don' have her last name yet. Would love to know
more about your side of the family. Tommy Patterson Reidsville,
N.C.
Bill Vernon, who for years ran the Vernon family Association,
believed Celia's father was Benjamin T. Hennis. Benjamin
probably came from Maryland, as did other families in the area.

The Commodore commanded a small "fleet" at Lake Pontchatrain in
New Orleans in 1814. He was able to delay the British landing
and enabled Andrew Jackson to gather his forces.
Subsequently, he stopped dueling in the U.S. Navy. He helped
negotiate the treaty with the Hawaiians which gave the United
States the islands. He then commanded the Pacific Squadron in
1842. He captured Monterey, California, from the Spanish who
held Mexico at that time on receiving the erroneous information
that war existed between the U.S. and Mexico. There is a plaque
honoring is event in Monterey Harbor.
---Jones (1891), p. 75. He entered the navy on 22 Nov 1805, and
became lieutenant 24 May, 1812, commander 28 March, 1820, and
captain 11 March 1829. From 1808 till 1812 he was engaged in the
Gulf of Mexico where he was succesful in suppressing piracy,
smuggling, and the slave-trade. When the British naval
expedition against N.O. entered Lake Borgne in 1814 he
endeavored to intercept forty British boats with his small
flotilla. Although wounded and compelled to surrender, his
conduct was much praised.
--Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography
"Commodore Jones commanded the Pacific Fleet for many years.
In 1826, Jones concluded the treaty between King Kauikeaouli of
the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and the United States. This
initial treaty with Hawaii granted most favored trade status to
Hawaii and granted protection to U.S. ships.
He captured and released Monterey, CA, in 1842. Another mention
can be found in this history of the Republic of California
A number of references are made to him in the index to the
California History, California Historical Society
Two letters are in the Navy Department Library.
A letter (April 1826) is from Jones to William Tudor regarding
differences in expenses in Peru.
A letter (February 1845) from the Secretary of the Navy to Jones
regarding Jones's interest in the Territorial Government of
Oregon.
Library of Congress books involving Thomas ap Catesby Jones
Name references of Thomas ap Catesby Jones in the LOC.
A book with appendicies by Thomas ap Catesby Jones (Log of
United States and about Monterey from Pacific Squadron Letters).
His nephew, Catesby ap Roger Jones, refers to him numerous in
his private journal.
A reference is made to him in Military History of the West, Fall
1994 (Vol. 24 No. 1)
A description of the presentation of swords on Feb. 22, 1841, to
Thomas ap Catesby Jones and his brother Roger Jones, in
"Southern literacy messenger; devoted to every department of
literature and the fine arts" Vol. 7, Issue 4 entitled "Honors
to the Brave"
He is mentioned repeatedly in his nephew Catesby ap Roger
Jones's Private Journal."
http://cssvirginia.org/tyson/jones/tacj.htm
Thomas ap Catesby Jones (abt 1790-1858) served a long and
distinguished career in the US Navy. As a young Lieutenant
during the War of 1812, he was in command of the gunboat
flotilla on Lake Borgne (article 1, article 2) which was wiped
out by a numerically superior British force during the Battle of
New Orleans. In 1826 he was a principal signer of the treaty
(article 1, article 2) giving the US access to Hawaii. In 1842
he was Commodore of the Pacific Fleet; mistakenly believing that
the US and Spain were at war, he captured Monterey CA one day,
apologized and returned the garrison to the Spanish the next
day. Jones was the grandson of Sally Skelton and Col.Thomas
Jones (1726-1785/6). Sally was the daughter of Jane Meriwether
(M133) and James Skelton, MD. Jane was the daughter of Francis
Meriwether II (M13) and Mary Bathurst. Quite a number of the
descendants of Thomas & Sally Jones had careers in the US and CS
military, army and navy.

His Obit appeared in The Democrat, date of death Apr 14 1907:
"The old line of gray is getting thinner and thinner and soon
they all will have crossed the river to rest under the shadow of
the trees. Amongst those who recently joined the immortal
spirits of Lee, Jackson, and Beauregard and a host of other
departed soldiers of the Confederacy, was Capt. R. Y. L.
McCants"
"Booth,Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers and Commands,
New Orleans, 1920."
McCants, R. Y. E.,— Capt. Norwood's Co. Cav. (Jeff Davis
Rangers) La. Mil. Appears on List not dated. Norwood's
Co.,Capt. J. J., La. Mil. Jeff Davis Rangers, Ind.
"The Roster" only has two entries that even come close:
McCants, R. Y. Bradford's Corps Scouts & Guards, Co. A McCants,
R. Y. E. (sic) LA Mil Cav (Jeff Davis Rangers) Norwood's Co.
Since no rank is given, that means these were privates.
Bradford's Corps Scouts & Guards, was a regular Confederate army
unit better known as Bradford's Infantry Battalion, commanded by
Major J. D. Bradford. It was organized with two companies in
August 1864.
