His name was William J. Hendricks. He shows born in AR, but I have not found anything to prove this to date in AR. Here is that census: W. J. HENDRICKS Household Male -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Information: Birth Year <1835> Birthplace AR Age 45 Occupation Farmer Marital Status M <Married> Race W <White> Head of Household W. J. HENDRICKS Relation Self Father's Birthplace NC Mother's Birthplace NC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source Information: Census Place E.D. 9, Bosque, Texas Family History Library Film 1255291 NA Film Number T9-1291 Page Number 359C I am hoping that maybe someone may be familiar with a Hendricks family that was supposedly Dutch and possibly some Indian sprinkled in there too from NC. All I have to go on is NC at this time for a couple with a son named William. There is a chance however, that he MAY have had a brother named Walter. Just not sure. I have a death certificate on a Bessie Allison who married Walter Hendricks and can not find out who the heck they were either! I am hoping SOMETHING will give me some direction on how to continue this search, as without a county to look at, I am clueless! Sabrina in SC
