Thanks for providing this information. The 1870 census identifies her as Laura, but you have now provided two records that identify her as Louise. I will note this in my record for her, and I will assume that her name probably really was Louise. She was the daughter of Anderson D. HENSON and Cynthia Ann WHITSON However, the question still remains as to which Louise HENSON married the CRAINs. The death record that Randy found indicates that Louise Henson Crains' father was John HENSON, not Anderson D. HENSON. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 8:57 AM Subject: [ILJACKSON] Estate of Cynthia Henson > LDS Film # 968940 Jackson County, IL Probate 1876--79 > > p. 226 C.A.

I have followed this discussion but may have missed some of the notes. I research the Crain family and that was what drew my attention to these messages. A couple of years ago I was over at the Crain cemetery and made pictures; I have a picture of a tombstone which is inscribed: Louisa, wife of Squire Crain, died Feb. 16, 1855, aged 55 yrs, 1 m, 19 ds Is this yet another Louisa. I'm sorry to bother you but I have been reading most of the messages but may have missed one that explained this. georgia [email protected] ps: I have John Benjamin Crain's DAR RW papers which lists all his children and those who settled south of Chester. Also, if any of you are researching Crain's do you know the date of the newspaper (1920's or 30's) which gave the history of the Crain's settled in that area (I call them Crain Island Crain's) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Shawcross" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 8:52 AM Subject: Re: [ILJACKSON] Estate of Cynthia Henson > Thanks for providing this information.
