After reading about Aunt Mattie Pat I decided to write to check my husband's Henderson connection. I don't have much time to research, but as far as I know the cousin who does has not been able to get past their gggElihu Henderson from East Feliciana Parish. I don't know where they came from to Louisiana but could be Georgia...... Do these names look familiar to anyone? The Hendersons that I know were all fun loving people so...............if anyone sees any family name there, please let me know......
