MCHENRY was born 4 Feb 1844 in Overton Co TN to Spencer McHENRY and Elizabeth CULLOM. He was married on 19 September 1865 in Burke Co GA to Anna (Annie) Isabella HILL, who was born 9 January 1844 in GA and died 11 November 1897. The family were recorded as living in Macon, Noxubee County MS, in the 1870 and 1880 censuses. Children: Eugene Spencer McHenry, 24 July 1866 MS - 13 April 1870 MS; James Fielding McHenry, b. March 14, 1870 MS: Mary Elizabeth McHenry, 4 Sept 1872 Hinds Co MS - 10 October 1913 Savannah, Chatham Co, GA married Thomas Spann HOWARD; Edward (Eddie) Hill McHenry, b. 2 February 1875 MS and Tilman Bascom McHenry, b. 26 August 1876. E.A.J. McHenry, according to one source, died 14 July 1881 in Washington, DC. Are there others researching E.A.J. McHenry (brother of my great-grandfather Richard Bascom McHenry) and his family?

My 3g-grandfather's dau, Lucinda (Harper) Paulette's second husband was Spencer McHenry. They were married in Nox. Co. Could this be the same Spencer McHenry as yours? If so, this would be his second marriage, according to your data. Here is a brief genealogy report. Descendants of Lucinda Harper Generation No. 1 1. LUCINDA5 HARPER (ROBERT4, JOSIAH3, JOSEPH2, JOHN1) was born August 15, 1826 in AL(1), and died October 01, 1914 in Noxubee Co., MS(2). She married (1) THOMAS B. PAULETTE, SR. Bef. November 1845. He was born 1816 in VA(3), and died 1859 in Noxubee Co., MS(4). She married (2) SPENCER MCHENRY May 19, 1863 in Noxubee Co., MS(5). He was born March 02, 1806, and died September 28, 1869 in Noxubee Co., MS(6). Notes for LUCINDA HARPER: Lucinda obviously was the daughter of Sarah Hewitt Harper, Robert's second spouse.. The Tuscaloosa County Orphan's Court (Book 2, page 171) on Feb. 8, 1842 appointed William W. Bacher(sp?) as her guardian when her father's estate administrators petitioned to sell and divide inherited property. Assuming that 18 years was the age of majority, Lucinda would have had to have been born after Feb. 8, 1824. Her father, Robert, married Sarah in January 1926. By November 1845, Lucinda had married a POLLOTT(sic) (Orphans Court bood 3, pp. 67-68) and was given her share of her father's estate. If Lucinda was born after Jan. 1926, she could have been 17-18 in 1845. That was old enough to be married. Later evidence shows that the Orphans Court reference to Pollott most likely is a phonetic attempt at PAULETTE because we found Lucinda Paulette in Noxubee Co., MS census later, and in one case, her mother was in the household. Children of LUCINDA HARPER and THOMAS PAULETTE are: i. SARAH6 PAULETTE, b. Bet. 1844 - 1845. ii. THOMAS B. PAULETTE, JR., b. December 02, 1847, Noxubee Co., MS; d. March 05, 1911(6). iii. VIRGINIA PAULETTE, b. Bet. 1850 - 1851. iv. JOHN W. PAULETTE, b. September 21, 18537; d. April 12, 1917(7). More About JOHN W. PAULETTE: Burial: Odd Fellows Cemetery, Macon, MS Endnotes 1.
