Did you know that the name Larkin was also the name of would be Jesse's cousins son? He was the son of Daniel (son of John Williams & Sarah Calvin ) Williams. Most of this family moved from Christian County to Indiana. Obviously if your John Henderson stayed in KY then who is the John Henderson that lived next door to Jesse? I wonder lol. Too many Common names. Williams has to have been the hardest I have done, but on the John Henderson that lived next door to Jesse he was in the 1820 census and after that he disappeared it could have been him living for a short time and maybe didn't like it and went back home. I have pinpointed the years they moved to Posey as between the years 1817 and 1819, because Polly and Gillison were married in 1817 (this was shortly before they moved) and Jesse and his wife Nancy Caldwell married in 1819. I learned from a cousin that John and James where brothers threw a cousin. She also told me John was Jesse's father but James had a son listed in the 1810 census of Jesse's age so it makes me think that James is in fact the father of Jesse. John Williams did not have a son listed of Jesse's age.

For instance Christian County was formed in 1797 from a division of Logan County.And then check them for your family names. I know there are Williams in Logan County and also in Muhlenberg County.
