Hi, I am Shirley McDonald Holmquist born in Houston but have lived in Anderson, SC for many years. HENRY SHERIDAN was born in Germany around 1752 and his wife, CHRISTIANA HENCH was born in PA about 1752. I believe they went to KY from PA and then went to Louisiana around 1800. In 1805 they migrated to Texas. When they were ordered out of Texas by the Spanish, he made a claim for land on the Bayou Chacom in the Neutral Strip.
