I would be very interested to know your JOHNS/HENDERSON connection. My grandmother was Minnie Beulah HENDERSON, daughter of Robert Huey HENDERSON and Sarah Frances REDMON (some researchers say FRY). She married Henry Bethel CROCKER. ___________________________________________________________ Life is a grindstone; whether it grinds you down or polishes you up depends on what you're made of. - Jacob M.
