I don't have John Hendricks, but have wondered if he might be next in my family tree--no proof though. My line ends at William W. Hendricks, born 1788 in North Carolina. He married Susannah Sears (daughter of Samuel and Christena Sears) on 21 Oct 1817 in Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky, and started their family in what soon became Simpson County, Kentucky. The family, including Susannah's parents, moved to Macoupin County, Illinois (probably Scottville), between 1825 and 1829, then on to Polk and Decatur Counties, Iowa about 1845. One of the children in this family was Daniel Wesley Hendricks who was received in Carroll County, Iowa (by letter from the Prairie City Church) in the spring of 1880. As I said, I have no idea if this family is related directly to Elder John Hendricks, but would certainly not be disappointed to find out.

The Samuel Sears family, including that of daughter Susan and her husband William Hendricks, moved to Sangamon County, Illinois, near the end of the 1820s. In 1830, the family members started buying land in Scottville Township (Sections 20, 21, 28, 29) in Macoupin County, Illinois, and by 1835, all of the extended family were living in Macoupin. In 1836, the family started moving out of Macoupin and into the State of Iowa. William and Susan Hendricks and Samuel and Christina Sears did not move to Iowa until 1843. William Hendricks died during the move and was buried in Hoover Cemetery of Franklin Township, Lee County, Iowa. His widow and children settled in Polk and Decatur Counties in Iowa. The parents of William Hendricks are unknown to me, but I, too, suspect that he was somehow related to Elder John Hendricks.

Hendricks, I have often seen others that have listed his name as William W. Perkins Hendricks. I don't know where the "Perkins" might come from, but thought someone might know? Or perhaps it might help make some sort of connection. Scott
