As students of the history of Henderson Co., KY know, many of its early residents were of North Carolina, especially Granville Co., NC and Caswell Co., NC. I learned a great deal about Henderson Co. and its history from Edmund Lyne Starling's hefty (800 pages) History of Henderson Co., and in it, he explains the linkage of Henderson Co. with North Carolina -- shall I call them speculators? Henderson and its county, of course, are named in honor of Col. Richard Henderson of Granville Co., NC. Researchers who live near an LDS family history center may be pleased to know that the Family History Library in Salt Lake City has filmed Starling's book, and below is some information I cut and pasted from the online catalog at www.familysearch.org I clicked on the link to the catalog (I prefer the one at the lower left of the webpage), did an Author search for Starling [four entries appeared, but I chose this one] Here is the film number. If near an FHC, you can order this film from Salt Lake City, for a small fee, for a short time, but generally you can renew for another few weeks. I found some gross errors in some of the biographies, but Starling no doubt relied on written or oral interviews, and the interviewees seem to have had faulty memories--or never learned the right story in the beginning (same as with our modern-day families). Don't believe everything you hear or read (or see, on television). Nonetheless, the history is of great interest, and may help family history researchers understand the origins and motivations of some of their ancestors.
