What I'm trying to figure out is if the Jessie Henderson listed below, age 27, is listed as a (slave)?? 762270-310 Henderson Robert 44 1806 TN 1850 Greene 763270-310 Henderson Rebecca 39 1811 TN 1850 Greene 764270-310 Henderson Sarah E. 4 1846 TN 1850 Greene 765270-310 Henderson William H. 1 1849 TN 1850 Greene 550272-310 Henderson Joseph 50 1800 KY 1850 Greene 551272-310 Henderson Sarad D. 46 1804 VA 1850 Greene 552272-310 Henderson Martha 20 1830 TN 1850 Greene 553272-310 Henderson Ann G. 17 1833 TN 1850 Greene 554272-310 Henderson Ellen 15 1835 TN 1850 Greene 555272-310 Henderson William H. 14 1836 TN 1850 Greene 556272-310 Henderson Findly 12 1838 TN 1850 Greene 557272-310 Henderson Alexander 10 1840 TN 1850 Greene 558272-310 Henderson Mary 6 1844 TN 1850 Greene 559272-310 Lauderdale Willy 23 1827 TN 1850 Greene 560272-310 Henderson Jessee 27 1823 TN 1850 Greene If he is listed as a slave, then that would make a pretty good case for the Joseph Henderson listed in the will below being the same Joseph of Afton Tennessee...Henderson Station-Depot. 23 Nov 1839. Greene Co. TN W.B. Will of Alexander Henderson, probated 6 January 1840. My brother, Joseph, to keep slave, Jesse, and pay my estate sixty dollars each year, and care for him - then set him free and give him $100. Brothers: George and Robert, to manage my store.

Witnesses: William Stanfield, James W. Galbreath. Signed: Alex Henderson. (Greene Co. TN Wills 1783-1890 pp.52-53 by Goldene Fillers Burgner.) The history of Afton states that Henderson bought the a grist mill from a man by the name of Marsh in 1836. Henderson's mill. With the coming of the railroad to east Tennessee just prior to the Civil War Henderson evidently was concerned with attracting the railroad as near to his mill as possible. In 1858 Henderson sold to the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company land for a right of way for the railroad. In the deed he agreed to build a depot within a reasonable amount of time. It is presumed that the name of the post office was changed to Henderson's Station at that time. Just what happened to the Henderson fortune is not known but shortly after the Civil War, probably in 1868, creditors forced a sale of the Henderson estate. The land sold at the court house in Greeneville , was bought by Andrew Johnson for $2,250.00 and deeded to his daughter Margaret Johnson Patterson and her husband Judge D.T. Patterson., who lived for many years in the Old Henderson Ho! me. This charming old house, a land mark in the community, and a notable example of the finest pre-Civil War architecture is now in the beautiful home of Mrs. C.N. Price. A part of the original Henderson Home, built of logs, remains as part of the Price kitchen. Just as the location of Afton was first determined by a grist mill, grinding flour and meal remaines a leading industry of the village. The present mill known as Home Milling Company was built by W.H. Henderson, probably a son of the original Henderson, about 1874. Some of the bricks used in the construction bear the name W.H.Henderson. In 1866, a court case filed by Joseph Henderson in Greene County TN. Several people listed as creditors against Joseph Henderson included these people: Robert Henderson. Court decided to sell land on 15th day of April 1867 amounting to 516 acres. These people purchased the land: William H Henderson; J F Cecil; Finley Henderson; and A. O. Henderson. The selling price was $17500.00. However, Andrew Johnson overturned the sale.
