Randy, I suspect we are talking about different people. The youngest daughter of Anderson D. HENSON and Cynthia Ann WHITSON was named Laura, not Louise, and she was listed as Laura and 8 years old in the Jul 1870 census for Killion Twp. I do not have any records of John A. HENSON or Cynthia THOMPSON, so I cannot verify that they had a daughter named Louisa A., as stated in the Randolph County death records. On the other hand, I have no reason to question the accuracy of the death record. I currently list Louisa C. HENSON, daughter of Benjamin B. HENSON and Louisa WOOLRICK, as the wife of Samuel Jefferson CRAIN and Aubry C. CRAIN. I am wondering if this is correct, in light of your discovery regarding the Randolph County death record for Louisa A. Perhaps I have identified the wrong Louisa HENSON as the spouse of the CRAINs? Does anyone have any information regarding the descendants of John A. HENSON and Cynthia THOMPSON, or their ancestors?
