Hi Robert, I can't help you with this particular query, but will be looking forward to see what reply's you may get. I have been monitoring this list for many years and you are one of the few to mention Scottish Henderson's. I have no idea how prevalent the Henderson surname was in that area of Scotland, but have a Robina Henderson that married into the family of my Kennedy ancestors from Kirkcudbrightshire in the late 1700's. In addition my great-great grandfather, Mathew Henderson (born at Ross-Cromarty, Scotland ?), married a Kennedy from this same family from Kirkcudbrightshire. By the time they married both were living in America. I've often wondered if these two families had ties with one another over many generations. Another coincidence is your middle name Cunningham. My nephew is a Cunningham whom I believe has traced his family back to Scotland.> From: henderson-request@rootsweb.com> Subject: HENDERSON Digest, Vol 3, Issue 24> To: henderson@rootsweb.com> Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 01:15:25 -0700> > > > Today's Topics:> > 1.

James (my great, great great grandfather) was born in 0I/08/1813 (PARTON) & died 09/10/1887 in CASTLE DOUGLAS. He married twice. His first wife was Jane MCKNAUGHT (born 03/06/1802 in BUITTLE, died 14/05/1846 in CASTLE DOUGLAS) aged 44 years. His second wife was Christina Muirhead (died 28/07/1883 in CASTLE DOUGLAS) aged 57 years. Although my great great grandfather (George Cunningham HENDERSON) was the son of Jane & James, I am also tying to trace any of James & Christina?s descendants. Three of his progeny (William, 35 yrs, Christina, 28 yrs, & Elizabeth 26 yrs were still living in the family home at 29 KING Street, CASTLE DOUGLAS on the 1891 census.> Are there any living relatives that I can confirm my research with?> Best regards> Robert James HENDERSON> > > > > ------------------------------> > To contact the HENDERSON list administrator, send an email to> HENDERSON-admin@rootsweb.com.> > To post a message to the HENDERSON mailing list, send an email to HENDERSON@rootsweb.com.> > __________________________________________________________> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to HENDERSON-request@rootsweb.com> with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the> email with no additional text.> > > End of HENDERSON Digest, Vol 3, Issue 24> **************************************** _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts! Play the word scramble challenge with star power. http://club.live.com/star_shuffle.aspx?icid=starshuffle_wlmailtextlink_jan
