Author: David_Hughey Surnames: Henderson, Hughey, Proffit, Gorman Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.henderson/8429.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: You got the names a bit mixed up, but this sounds like my cousins, John Alec Henderson and his wife, Sella (or Zella) Hughey. They were 4th cousins of each other when they got married as Zella Hughey Henderson was descended from Jane Henderson and her husband, William Gorman. Together, they had six children. Both the Hugheys and the Hendersons were originally from Kentucky, but the families moved to Michigan to get jobs. Unlike her husband, Alec, Zella was born in Mancelona Township, Antrim County, Michigan. I'm descended from Zella's uncle, Robert Franklin Hughey, and her aunt, Martha Frances Proffit. Zella's dad, William Edward Hughey, married Martha's sister. The auto accident took place in 1937 in Antrim County, Michigan, and both of them died as a result. They had been married nearly 15 years at the time of the accident. Alec was descended from James Alexander Henderson (1784-1866) and Zella, from James's sister, Jane (Henderson) Gorman (1776-1831). I hope this helps. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
