Exactly the discussion I was hoping this would generate. #1 I have no proof that Shadrack's first name was William. In my searching for info about him--I have found a William Henderson and wife Sarah who had a son named Shadrack. The above William's father was named Shadrack. And our Shadrack named his son William. I came across some info about the Henderson's once that had a W in front of Shadrack's name. I assumed it to be William and have left it that way until more positive info happens. The W might have been an error or a typo-but I hold on to any scrap of info I can get !! #2 "1860 LaClede Co Mo census--Shadrack and wife Mouncy with son Benjamin " Shadrack was married before Mahala ?? Nina-- I should have ask that question of you before now. Don't know why I didn't. Did both Mouncy and Benjamin die? I've seen the info that Shadrack was married to a Mouncy Catherine but then the daughter Mouncy Catherine threw a wrench into my figuring out the relationship. I do recall that there was spectulation that the first wife was related to Mahala ? Right ? #3 Drew being born in Missouri-- I will correct my information to include that. I didn't know. #4 Annie being Mary Ann--yes-you are correct. Thats the way she is identified on my land papers when they divided the property. I hope you or anyone who has Coleman info will provide me with it. Would love to know about Annie. #5 Isa Casner-- I have it Kasner. It was typed as a K in the info I found. I'll change that as well. Interesting about the Kasinger spin-- could Isa also be Isabelle ? Whose daughter would she be ? #6 I have photo of both Shadrack and Mahala--he for sure looks of Indian descent--Mahala is just a very pretty lady and I really don't see Indian in her but I wouldn't be accepted as a judge for anything !! The article in the Senior Focus about Sarah Belle Henderson -Foster had her being 3/4 Cherokee thru her mother. I wondered about that claim at the time but hey I don't know--(see above sentence about me being judge). I hunt for clues ---- gather and keep any I find. I know there was something else I needed to talk about but have to quit for now. Later
