Is there someone who can do a look-up for me?HAYS and LEONARD in Duke Chapel Cem. Thanks in advance,Judi

Hello, I am really new at this but hope someone out there recognizes my Henderson family and can help. I apologize if I am not using the correct format but I will learn as I go along. This is all I know so far. Most was gathered from cemeteries and obituaries. I am finding it very difficult to differentiate between Pleasant's and Alexander's in this family to find the correct line. John Wimbish Henderson John Wimbish Henderson, son of Malinda nee Wimbish Henderson and Dr. Alexander Henderson, grandson of Col. Pleasant Henderson (of the Transylvania Company) and cousin of Dr. Archibald Henderson (of the University of Virginia). John Wimbish Henderson was born in Charlotte, N.C. on October 7, 1855, parents: Dr. Alexander Henderson and Malinda Wimbish.       John moved to Sherard, Mississippi with his family at the age of four (abt. 1859).  At the age of twelve, his father died (abt. 1867), John his mother and his family moved back to Virginia.  Which would lead you to believe Alexander Henderson died in Mississippi, possibly due to injuries or illness from the Civil War.  I believe by then he had at least two sisters: Fannie nee Henderson Gardner Lesley born in North Carolina, and Sarah Leigh nee Henderson Greene, born 1853 died 1930 buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Tunica, Ms.   John Wimbish Henderson, moved back to Mississippi in 1888, to Holly Springs.  He practiced law with a partner whose last name was Chalmers (or Chambers).  He married Josephine Stephens, in 1900.  Josephine was born in Hickman, Ky in 1868 and died in Tunica, May 29, 1931.  He resided in Tunica, Ms. until his death in 1933.         He was an attorney in Tunica with a partner but I'm not sure who.  He was a writer, a poet, an inventor and the elected County Superintendent of Tunica Dept. of education from 1896, to 1913.  He was the Tunica County State legislator, and ran for governor of Mississippi.  He organized the 2nd Mississippi Infantry Company E , during the Spanish American War and was made a Captain.  The 2nd Ms. never saw action but he was promoted to Major and later served as a Colonel in Gov. Noel's staff in Mississippi. Other family buried in Henderson Family Plot, Tunica, Ms. Malinda Wimbish Henderson born: November 1829 died: October 4, 1905 Sarah Leigh Henderson                Anthony S. Greene born: 1853                                          b. 1858 died: 1930 Ruth Leigh Henderson born: 1902 died: 1915 Herman Aubrey Gardner born:  November 17, 1878 Died:  July 12, 1905 Other family members mentioned in some of John W. Henderson's obituaries 1933 are: Sisters: Fannie H. Lesley Mrs. Greene of Ciaro, Ill. (but I think there were more) Daughter: Ruth Henderson Travis (my grandmother) Nieces: Mrs. G. W. Roycroft Mrs. Oscar Dooley Mrs. Ivan LaRue (I think these are nieces with the maiden name of Gardner) Nephew: Albert Gardner Brother in Law: Alexander Gardner Thank you, Vicki

I seek Archibald Henderson the son of Nathaniel Henderson who died 1782 in Craven County, South Carolina. Older genealogy books are misleading and state as fact happenings that are not supported by documentation. Can these Archibald Hendersons be identified? Archibald Henderson born about 1740 in Scotland, died 1806 probably in Marlborough District, SC. Wife was Mary. Not the son of Nathaniel. Archibald Henderson who married Elizabeth Sellers 1803 and in 1838 was living in Haywood County, NC. Archibald Henderson born about 1740 maybe in Pennsylvania (someone's guess). His wife died before he did, name unknown. His will was signed 21 Nov 1778 in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Archibald Henderson born 1749 (baptized 26 March 1749) Augusta, VA, died Feb 1781 Augusta, VA. Father was James, Mother probably Martha Hamilton. Archibald Henderson born about 1753 (from his pension application R4866 GA) He lived ca. 1776 in Baltimore County, PA!, 1778 Hanover Co., VA, 1829 Gwinnett Co., GA, 1835 Henry Co., GA. Archibald born about 1750 or 1756, lived in Rockingham County, N.C. wife's surname Lloyd. Archibald Henderson born about 1760, lived in York County, SC. Wife was Sasrah Carothers, dau of James. I have indormation about later Archibald Hendersons, but it's unlikely that any later man of this name would be a son of Nathaniel who died 1782. Carol

Posted on: Henderson Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Henderson/11191 Surname: Henderson, Milby, Lea, Ward ------------------------- Lois-- Thanks for your response! In the 1880 TX Census, J. A. was shown to be 40 years old. I suppose 4 years is debatable at this point. I have come across new information recently that says his wife's name was Emma V. She and their son, Joseph Milby were in San Antonio, TX by 1885. And then shortly thereafter, she is listed as widow of J. A. Henderson. Joseph Milby Henderson married Harriet Fitzhugh Ward in June of 1893 and then disappears from the city directory. As for the area in PA, I have not a clue as I have not wanted to go that direction until I verified that I had the right J. A. and Joseph M. Will you please tell me what you have on the Joseph born in 1844? Thanks for your help! Leona

Posted on: Henderson Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Henderson/11188 Surname: Henderson ------------------------- Our Joseph Henderson was born about 1844. He would have been about 36 in 1880. Does this age come close to what your ancestor should be? Have you any idea the area of PA your Henderson came from? I have some PA information on a earlier Joseph if you are interested. We think he may be connected to ours but just specualtion at this point.

Posted on: Henderson Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Henderson/11187 Surname: Henderson, Milby ------------------------- I don't think I can give help as I am looking for help! I have J. A. Henderson and wife E. V. on 1880 Census in Houston with 9 y/o son, Joseph Milby. I have reason to believe J. A. came from PA and possibly with family members. His wife and son later in San Antonio. J. A. possibly died in Houston area? Have you ever seen anything along these lines?

Posted on: Henderson Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Henderson/11186 Surname: Henderson, Milby ------------------------- I am looking for J. A. Henderson, born in PA. He appears on the 1880 Census in Texas. Possible that the J. is for Joseph? As his son was Joseph Milby--possibly maiden name? Can this be your Joseph?

Posted on: Henderson Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Henderson/11182 Surname: Henderson, Green ------------------------- Seeking any information on Hendersons living in or around the Wayne county, MS area.

Posted to Lexington County board from Ray Henderson - just passing it along for all of the Henderson's interest. Begin: I'm new to the list & thought I'd just jump right  in and ask a question. Am I the only person in the world who is working on the name HENDERSON in Fayette Co?? I have a James Alexander Henderson who was born near Lexington in 1786.  I suspect that his father might be William Henderson (from VA)  but since there seemed to be a Henderson under every rock & behind every tree in early Fayette Co I'm  not sure.   I know James had a brother named Archibald. Allied   ( Fayette Co    ca 1800-1830 )  names of this pesky James Alex Henderson family were CASSELL, TILTON & WHITE.   I'd love to hear from someone who was also working on this family. Thanks Ray Henderson xrx_doc@prodigy.net http://tnhendersons.rootsweb.com/ http://pages.prodigy.net/xrx_doc/index.html

Are any of you descendants of Archibald Henderson b. 1787 and m. Jane Plemmons? They were my gtgtgt grandparents. Bonnie

Archibald is not my family, but in order to separate him from my people, I have followed him a bit. This is what I have about Archibald. In 1790 he was in Robeson County, NC. Robeson was formed 1787 from Bladon. He died 1806 most likely in Marlborough District, SC. Land lay on Shoeheel swamp which lay in both states. Wife Mary died 15 June 1815 in Monroe County, AL, age about 66. death dates are from the bible of their son Alexander. Children of Archibald and Mary. John 1768-1830 Randol 1769-1806 Sml 1770 1834 Archibald b 1771 d 1807 Jamiah b 1773 Daniel b 1775 Alexander b 1776 died 1852 moved to Monroe County, AL Alexander had a passport through Georgia with wife, 4 ch, from Marlborough Dist, SC. Robert b 1778 d 1821 Catherine b 1780 d 1838 James b 1784 d 1844 Monroe County, AL Duncan I don't know where Duncan fits in. In 1775 Duncan got a grant on both sides Brown Marsh on Lumber River. I have been given this: "I Alexander Henderson is almost 66 yrs old. My Father, Archibald Henserson departed this Life in 1806(6) aged about 66. My Mother Mary June 5, 1815 aged about 66. I have all reason to hope & believe that they both died in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Singing to the Lamb for ever and ever, but poor me are hear (sic) yet having my troubles and tryals a little while.... 1844 Janny I am yet on the landof the living and have a strong hope or faith that when I die through the blood of JesusChrist I will be saved. Glory Halilujah. May 1845 Thanks be to the Lord JesusChrist... and so forth Alexander Henderson was born 1776 May. His wife Catherine she departed this life Oct 8, 1848 about the same age-- aged 71. Our daughter Elizabeth Parker died on the 26 July 1840 aged about 30. Her son Robert died on the 18 June 1840. Catherine her daughter died on the 29 July 1840. Richard died Aug. 25. Elizabeth died August 29. Alexander died Sept 17. Thomas 8 August 1841. Our son John died aged 4 years August 1821. William died 1823 August aged 11 years. Our daughter Mary Woolworth departed this life happy in the Lord Sept 23, 1839 aged about 33 years. Her infant died also our grand chldren Thoms A JonesSept 20, 1843, Alexander C Jones Oct 11, 1843. and a lot more....

ARCHIBALD HENDERSON born about 1740 Killean & Kilchenzie Parish, Argyll, Scotland, died perhaps 1806 Richmond County, NC, married Mary Smith ? Children: John born about 1767; Ann borna about 1768; Randall born about 1772; Archibald born about 1773; Donald born about 1775; Alexander born May 1776; Robert born about 1778; Catherine born about 1780; James born about 1784; and, Duncan born about 1789. It appears that, in Scotland, family members were listed variously as MCKENDRICK and HENRY; once in the American Colonies, were listed as MCKENDRICK and HENDERSON. There were several Archibald Hendersons in early North Carolina. Information about all of them is solicited. Any information will be appreciated. Will gladly share information.

Posted on: Henderson Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/FamilyAssoc/Henderson/11180 Surname: Henderson, Hartman, Blackledge, Crabb, McCormick ------------------------- My ancestor Uriah Henderson married Eliza Hartman 7-1838 in Washington Co PA. In 1850 the family lived at Fayette Co Dunbar Township Pa. Children were Issac, Samuel, Alexander, Joseph, Uriah Jr, Morgan, and Sara E. Witnesses to their marriage in Washington Co include Levi Blackledge, Capander Crabb and Jacob McCormick. This Henderson family left PA about 1854 and they are listed on the Putnam Co Illinois 1860 census. Would appreciate any help with these names.
