It has been a while but I was searching for one of My Brick Walls, James Lewis Henderson and his wife Sarah Nethery Henderson. James and Sarah were married June 10 1865 n Granville Co NC. Sarah had 3 children George Daniel Henderson b 3-20 1867, Henry Lewis Henderson b 1869, and Delilah Henderson b 1874. Then James Lewis Henderson vanished off the face of the earth. I might add that he appeared on the face of the earth on June 10l, 1865 in Granville co NC , fathered the above 3 children and was on one tax list for Granville Co NC then was gone. I want to go backwards to find his family of course. I had a lead that stated they may have been memebers of Stateline Baptist Church in the 1870-1880's. Any leads or help on this line would be greatly appreciated.

Press Release for Immediate Distribution: ====================================================================== NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY PARTNERS WITH THE ST. LOUIS COUNTY LIBRARY ====================================================================== The National Genealogical Society's circulating collection of more than 20,000 volumes will have a new home by the end of this year. At its September board meeting in Davenport, Iowa, the NGS Board of Directors ratified its decision to create a strategic partnership with the St. Louis County Library. The NGS circulating collection, part of which is currently housed in off-site storage, will be moved to the St. Louis County Library where it will be available to researchers by January 2002. In February of 2002, the NGS circulating book collection will become available in its entirety for interlibrary loan to both NGS and non-NGS members throughout the country. Both NGS and the St. Louis County Library are committed to significantly growing the circulating collection so that members have a dramatically larger number of books available to them via interlibrary loan. The St. Louis County Library staff will handle loan services previously processed by the NGS librarian and volunteers. The county library's experienced interlibrary loan staff and their expert special collections librarians make this partnership particularly strong. Loans will be executed in a timelier manner and will usually be less expensive for the researcher. Special collections librarians will assist in answering reference questions generated by the loan service. This partnership will enable the NGS librarian and the volunteers to focus on providing programs, projects, and access to other important materials such as the NGS manuscript collection, which will continue to be housed at the NGS headquarters site in Arlington, Virginia. An exciting new project is the development of plans for a genealogical reference help-desk. This help-desk will give members access to reference and referral services to help them find and interpret historical and genealogical information. Tailored to the individual needs of each researcher, this will be a tremendous benefit to NGS members. NGS will continue to accept donations for the circulating collection, and with its partner, make these additional materials available to the entire genealogical community. While the St. Louis County Library will maintain its core genealogy collection as a non-circulating reference collection, the NGS circulating collection will provide the whole genealogical community with access to a significant and growing circulating collection of genealogical reference materials. The National Genealogical Society's core mission is education. It is committed to forming strategic partnerships that will increase benefits for its members as well as the whole genealogical community. This strategic partnership increases important services without duplication. The NGS Board of Directors is dedicated to exploring all possible avenues of increasing member benefits while working to fulfill the society's core mission as a service organization that leads and educates the national genealogical community. About NGS: More information about the National Genealogical Society and its many programs and services can be found at the society's web site: http://www.NGSGenealogy.org The society's mission and objectives can be found at the following link: http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/amission.htm.

Originally published in the Ancestry Daily News, September 20, 2001: http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/news/articles/4596.asp ===================================================================== NEW PARTNERSHIP FOR THE NGS LIBRARY ===================================================================== The National Genealogical Society (NGS) Board of Directors is committed to providing the highest level of information, services, and products possible to NGS members. To this end we have become immersed in a strategic directions initiative. We are looking to provide more services to our members with the same number of staff and the same level of resources. And as I am sure you can imagine, our financial resources continue to be rather modest, particularly in this time of economic downturn. Despite rumors, stories, and musings to the contrary, the National Genealogical Society Library is not closing nor are its collections being randomly dispersed to other libraries. It is important for me to state again for the record: the National Genealogical Society Library is not closing. Rather it is being reconstituted in a manner more conducive to providing better services to the society's membership. Historically, the book loan collection has been under-utilized by the society's membership. Yet no one, absolutely no one, is interested in terminating the book loan service. The NGS staff and board of directors appreciate that while little used by the majority of members, the book loan service is highly valued by a number of members. The challenge before us was to find a way to continue making the book loan service available while freeing the NGS librarian and her staff to provide more valuable reference services for our members-services that would make NGS an increasingly invaluable part of more genealogists' lives. After much study and deliberation, the NGS board voted to create the nation's largest family and local history book loan collection through a partnership with the St. Louis County Library (SLCL). This partnership creates some of the most exciting growth opportunities for a book loan collection the genealogical community has ever seen. As specified by the agreement, all of the books SLCL receives from NGS must be made available for loan, making the entire NGS book loan collection as close as your nearest public, college, or university library. The two organizations have committed to meet at least yearly to review the status of the arrangement and modify as needed to make the books as accessible as possible. I believe it is important to also note that having the NGS Book Loan Collection at the St. Louis County Library carries the following additional benefits. 1. Book loan requests will be filled five days a week, rather than just one day per week as we had been doing at Glebe House. The service will be much more responsive. 2. Neither the St. Louis County Library nor the NGS Library will have to close to perform the interlibrary loans. In the past the NGS Library had to close to perform loan functions. 3. The St. Louis County Library has a much larger staff to handle loan requests. 4. The St. Louis County Library is committed to assisting NGS with reference questions that result from use of the loan collection. 5. Housing the loan collection in St. Louis means that the book loan collection will be in one place and in one consistent order. Currently, the NGS book loan collection is in two different facilities on the Glebe House grounds as well as two different remote storage facilities. 6. The St. Louis County Library will market the book loan collection in ways NGS was never able. 7. The St. Louis County Library will be offering programs at national conferences on the riches and use of the loan collection. 8. The St. Louis County Library will be enhancing web access to the loan collection, and creating pathfinders and use-aids for the collection as well as highlighting unique items. 9. The staff of the St. Louis County Library is most competent, professional, and very excited about making this arrangement truly benefit both organizations. The administrative, special collections, and interlibrary loan staffs in particular are truly extraordinary. I know this from months of personal experiences and interactions with them. Both SLCL and NGS are committed to growing the book loan collection in very dramatic ways. While we are not yet at the announcement stage, we are contacting numerous genealogical libraries, societies, and other organizations that heretofore were not interested in giving their duplicate materials to NGS because of our space constraints and the manner in which we had to run our loan program. We are asking these entities to reconsider enhancing our national loan collection by designating this new partner collection as the repository of their duplicates. In addition to finding a much better way to conduct the society's book loan program, I believe the NGS board's commitment to enhancing its library and information services can be evidenced in a number of significant ways. 1. The NGS librarian remains an important, full-time position on the society's staffing table, on par with other professional staff employed by the society. 2. The society's valuable manuscript collections (including the marvelous Richardson Dougall European Manuscript Collection), its archive of Bible records, the AMA files, and the MAC chart files are all being maintained at the Glebe House Library. Indeed, efforts will continue to be explored to acquire other such unique collections of materials. 3. The society is maintaining its contracts with CAPCON (the OCLC library cooperative in the DC-VA-MD area) and The Library Corporation (TLC). Access to OCLC will allow NGS staff to assist members in finding important family and local history books worldwide. Maintaining our online catalog through TLC will allow staff to eventually catalog our many manuscript collections, making them far more accessible to our members. The TLC system can also be used for providing new member services in the information arena. 4. The look-up services of NGSearch (e.g. Germans to America, Italians to America, etc.) will be maintained and expanded. 5. The society will continue to accept donations for both its reference collection being maintained at Glebe House and the book loan collection. 6. A new service to retrieve information and records from Washington, DC area repositories is being explored as a new service to members. 7. A new, members-only Help Desk will be established as a part of library services to provide personalized guidance to researchers just getting started, getting started again, and those who have reached an impasse of some kind. Toll-free help lines, designated e-mail addresses, and partnerships with other genealogical libraries to investigate a 24-7 reference assistance model are all being explored. Indeed, I believe you will be pleasantly surprised and pleased when all of our plans for the expansion of services in our newly reconstituted library are unveiled. Your NGS Board of Directors truly believes this new partnership with the St. Louis County Library will make for a stronger and more responsive society as well as a stronger and more vital library at Glebe House.

The reason I was interested in Hendersons in Mississippi is that there are Leas and Hendersons married much earlier in Virginia, North Carolina and MS. I think like many families they married within the families and moved together. What I do know is that my Joseph Milby Henderson was born in Texas in 1871 to J. A. and Emma V. (Milby) Henderson. J.A. was born in Pennsylvania and Emma in Texas. They were in Houston at that time and then later Emma and Joseph, not sure whether J. A. was there, in San Antonio by 1891(?). I also show a James M. Henderson living in the same household but have no idea whether he was son, brother, cousin or what. Joseph M. married Harriet Fitzhugh Ward in 1893, divorced by 1896. He shows up later in Louisiana, 1900s, and marries Violet Lea in 1916. They were married only a short time but I can find no records. He supposedly dies at sea or in South America. I have also seen posting for Emma and Joseph M. marrying in late 1890s in Somervell County. So can this help us to discover if your family and mine might be related? Hope to hear from you--Leona

I haven't gathered enough from your posts to know if we may connect. The "Lea" and "Louisiana" connection in your last post caught my eye. My ggg-grandfather was Joseph Henderson, born in MS about 1833, possibly the son of Zachariah Henderson and Sarah Ann Ford. I have also found that the Henderson and Leas go back to early Virginia days. Also the name "Lee" is common in the Henderson line. My Hendersons also lived on the border of Claiborne Parish, Louisiana and Union County, Arkansas in the mid 1800s. Joseph Henderson and his family were in Coryell County, Texas by 1860, then moved on to Comanche County by 1880. Does any of this connect with your line?
