Surnames: HENDERSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yNi.2ACEB/4089 Message Board Post: Looking for more information on the children of James W Henderson, son of John Henderson, son of Richard Henderson. I am specifically interested in what happened to his daughters. I lose two of them after the 1850 Census and one of them after the 1860 Census. Mary E, Margaret J and Sarah C Henderson are lost after these census records. I descend from William Paris Henderson but am trying to expand his line. Here is a sample of some of the documentation that I have. Here is an outline of where James lived from 1850 to his death in 1898. After that is a brief outline of the family. 1850 Census Jackson Township, Fayette County, Indiana 22 50 50 HENDERSON James 36 M Farmer 2,000 NC 23 50 50 HENDERSON Sarah 26 F Ind 24 50 50 HENDERSON Reuhama 8 F Ind 25 50 50 HENDERSON Mary E. 5 F Ind 26 50 50 HENDERSON Margaret J. 3 F Ind 27 50 50 HENDERSON William J. 3/12 M Ind 28 50 50 HENDERSON Samuel 30 M Farmer Ireland CENSUS YR: 1860 STATE or TERRITORY: IL COUNTY: Shelby DIVISION: South Division REEL NO: M653-228 PAGE NO: 715 REFERENCE: Enumerated on the 18th day of July, 1860 by D.
