    1. Re: West, Henderson...land sale to WILLIAMS
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/mAB.2ACE/2574.3.1.1.1.1.1.2 Message Board Post: It is noted in some excellent Henderson research by Morris Myers that "Herculas" Henderson (Argaleus Hercules, the granddaddy of the Christian Co. Hendersons) sold land in 1784 to a James Williams of Orange County. This may not be the James who married Nancy West, but possibly his father. I believe the Wests, Hendersons, and Lacys of Chatham lived at the north border of Chatham where it joined Orange at that time (Philemon Lacy and his brother were separated by the Chatham Co line when it was created; Philemon lived in Chatham and his brother in Orange!); this land sale was most likely between neighbors. I know it's not much of a clue, but maybe worth investigating who this James Williams may have been. Nancy
