Donna I am very interested in what you have on these Hendersons.I have been looking for a Henderson tie in WEakley for some time. My great-great-grandmother was SARAH HENDERSON, who married SPENCER SHARP, probably in Madison County, Mo., or thereabouts, circa 1828. I have no idea who her father was, but I do have some hints. In later censuses she said he was born in Virginia, and that she was born in 1812 in South Carolina. I am presuming Sarah and Spencer married in Missouri because they were living there in 1830 census next door to his father. They named their first son NATHANIEL HENDERSON SHARP, and a later son EZEKIELl. After a few years they moved to Weakley County where their other children were born. None of Spencer''s brothers or other relatives were in Tennessee. Spencer's brother ROBERT LOONEY SHARP also married a Henderson -- ISABEL -- in Madison County, Mo., and his sister Esther married a man named ROBERT HENDERSON.I do not know if any of these Henderson in-laws were related. 'Robert's wife Esther died, and their only child, MARY JANE, was living in Weakley County (I don't know with whom) in 1837 when she was named in her grandfather's will. There is strong evidence that she married in Weakley County when she was about 21 or 22 and moved later to Oregon. There was a family story that our line was related to KILLBREWS in Weakley and I tried to make Mary Jane the one who married into that family, but without success. Can you make any connection with your Weakley Hendersons?

OTher children's names of that couple: John Abner Henderson (moved to Caseyville, Il from NW Ark approx. 1920's) Nula Henderson (m. John Womack, lived in TX), Flosa Henderson(Flossie), Calvin Henderson (or C.C. Henderson)(wife Annie)-died in or near Caddo, OK, Almeda Henderson-eldest daughter(m. Amos Howard)-lived near Midland, TX, Ezeakiel K. Henderson (Zeak or E.K. "K" is for Killebrew)-the youngest one b. 1896-lived and died in Dallas, TX (wife's name Rosie). Of these, I only have contact with Royce Howard, a grandson of Almeda Henderson Howard, who has been doing genealogy research for many years on both Howard's and Henderson's. Please contact me if you have any connection to the above names...going all the way back to Samuel and Betsy..Thanks! Donna (Henderson) Caylor Howe, Texas >>
