My gg grandfather was George W. Henson b.1799 and was living in Laurel county in the mid 1800s. He eventually moved on to MO and to AR where he died and is buried. I and several other researchers have been trying for some time to determine who his parents were without success. There are so many Williams in the Henson/Hinson family that it is quite a job sorting them all out. I am not sure where the William that you mentioned fits in with all the others. One of the best candidates for George's father was a William b. in the 1750s. My son, myself, my father, my g grandfather and probably my ggg frandfather are all named William so I guess the confusion will continue into the next century. Another good candidate is Elisha Hinson b. 1776 but I can find nothing on him. One of the best sources for Henson/Hinson family info that I know is Roaten E. Hinson Jr. roaten@prodigy.net. He is always loking for other Hinsons to share info with. Will holly <rosiegood@earthlink.net> wrote:Hi Will Im holly. I've been looking for someone with the henson name for a while now.
