Hello, I would love to join the researchers, and receive the newsletter!Unfortunately,I don't have much to contribute.My great grandmother was Eunice Hendershot,and her parents were Paul Hendershot,and Phoebe Rush.I don't know anything about them,except that he was born in Belmont Co.,OH.That seems odd,because Eunice married my great grandfather,Albert Wilson Dickson in Johnson Co,MO in 1882.My grandmother was born inMO in 1884,and sometime soon after,they moved to Kansas.I have been told that Eunice was born in Indiana,and the census lists her birthplace as IN,so they moved alot??I wish I could help,and I would be happy to find anything new.Thank you for inviting me,Rae in WA Hi Rae; Enclosed here is what I have found on your family in the Hendershot Ancestors book by William E. Hendershot. This book is actually the workbook we all work from. It has some errors but we are attempting to correct it as we receive new information and documentation. You will be very happy to see this. I wish someone could help me with my line back to Michael the immigrant. PAUL HENDERSHOT (s/o Samuel b-1801) Born 1725- Belmont Co.
