I've done alot of research for people in Knox County, IL. Henderson Grove is really hard to understand. Way back in the early 1828's when the first people where coming to Knox County, Henderson (now) was earlier called Henderson Grove. Then there was another little place called Henderson Grove. It's not there anymore the only thing there is a cemetry and it's called something else now and in a different township. There is still a Place called Henderson Grove in Henderson Twp., Knox Co., IL. and they have a cemetery with some Nelson's buried there. I have a copy of the cemetery listings. and also some in another cemetery that is hard to get to in Henderson Twp. But beings as your Grandmother was born in 1871 I would say it would be the Henderson Grove that is still there today and the reason not on the map is there is only a cemetery, then a church on the corner of the road. It's not original church. But it's still there and alot of houses and people are glad to! say they are from Henderson Grove. There is no Post Office. I suppose they either get their mail in Henderson or Galesburg, IL. But if your grandmother married her married name wouldn't be Nelson would it. This Henderson, Hendersonville, Henderson Grove is so confusing sometimes. I tried to explain it to my husband but even he didn't understand it. http.rootsweb.com/~ilknox/histories/henderson.htm click on link above or copy and paste into your browser a good history on Henderson Twp and the Grove.
