Am searching for information on my g-grandfather, William H. Hendrickson. He was born in 1845, one of five sons of a shoemaker in New Jersey (exact location unknown). Family history says that his father remarried after his first wife's death, and the five sons from the first marriage left home because they disliked their stepmother. William H. was a Civil War veteran, but we don't know from which state. After the war, he became a sewing machine salesman, met my g-grandmother (Emma F. Kenaga) in Ohio, and married her in 1875 in Champaign County. They had four children: Clara, Frances E., Helen H., and my grandfather, John Kenaga. Family history also says that our ancestors were Swedish immigrants and may have originally spelled the surname Hendrixson. Can anyone link this to Gloucester County and its many Swedish Hendricksons? J.L. Hendrickson at [email protected]
