Mary, Recently I got copies of the Benjamin Henson estate. Rhoda Henson, Admr, 1/6/1857 Heirs: Minerva A. Benoist Eliza E. Bilderback Sophia Katharine Mansker, deceased: heir William T. Mansker Sarah M. Mansker Rebecca Ann Mary E. Benjamin F. Matilda Jane Thomas W. Henson, deceased: heir Joseph B. Henson I think that Minerva must have died after 1857. I don't think they are in the Jackson Co 1860 census. Alice
Alice, Thanks. I don't suppose I could be lucky enough to have the estate papers reference any grandchildren of Minerva and Joseph or perhaps a location on Minerva at the time of her father's death? I know they were in Jackson County, Illinois in 1850 (census) without children. I have checked the 1860 census for Jackson County and also for all of Cherokee County, Kansas (where Joseph was) without success. The 1860 census for Joseph is showing him as still married so I don't think she was deceased in 1860. Do you know anything about the family? I can't figure out why Mineva isn't in the census with her husband, unless they were separated or something.
