I did finally find Kendrick hiding out in the 1870 census as William K. Holt. You can see this is Kendrick from the children. So, I think this will put your theory to rest as Henry is still living with him. I will put all I have been able to find at the bottom. There is something that is strange. In the 1880 census, I do not see a daughter named Darcus. Although I know nothing about this family. I have also placed a couple of RootsWeb links at the bottom. The first one does have Darcus in the family list. The second link has a story about Henry. It states that he was thought to be a full-blooded Cherokee. If this is true, could be a reason why you cannot find out anything about his youth. Good Luck!
