Hesson's of Cabell Co., WV. & Lawrence Co., Ohio

My father is Charles E. Hesson, Jr. and is from Barboursville and now resides in Texas. My grandfathter was Charles E. Hesson, Sr. who died February, 2002. His father was George Hesson of Hamlin. Charles Sr. was born in Hamlin or Scary, WV in 1913 and I only remember a few of his brothers: Joe Hesson (still living, now in Tennessee), Bob and Duck (Thompson--see below). Bob owned a used car lot in Huntington when I was young, but went to prison for rolling back odometers. I've heard this story for years, don't know if it is true, that George had a family in Ohio, another wife and set of kids. The marriage was not "legal" and the children took their mother's name of Thompson. I have a sister, Anna Stacy Hesson and we live in Memphis, TN. I know of some Ohio Hessons but don't know much about them except that my grandmother, married to Charles Sr. was an Ohio Hesson somewhere back there but her name was Dunphy. They were cousins of some kind. One of my uncles is Roger Hesson, of Barboursville, and the other Greg Hesson of Ona, both living. Roger ran for mayor of Barboursville and lost a few years ago.
Don't know if this helps you, but good luck.
