However alhough I have developed a wealth of information on him I have been unable to make the connection. He is supposed to have been an uncle of my Great Grandfather James Milton Henderson Sr. In about 1835 when JP heard about the Texas revolution he was living with or near my grate grandfather in Yalabusha County Mississippi. He went to Texas and volunteered. Went to Tennessee and raised a company of volunteers at his own expense but by the time he returned to Texas the revolution was over. I have much more on him. In San Augustine, Texas, there is a statue to him in the court house square. If you are a distant relative to him then it follows that we are related. Contact me and we can compare notes. Hank
