Greetings Jefferson Co. List, Recently I began reviewing data received long ago from a relative and found that Henderson County was home to at least nine of my mother's direct ASPINWALL ancestors. I've been "lurking" in this list for a month or two and have seen none of them mentioned, so here they are. I would appreciate knowing if anyone has more info. On 18 Feb 1813, Cyrus BATES married Lydia HARRINGTON in Henderson. Cyrus' father, Oliver BATES, died in Henderson in 1828. Perhaps he had followed Cyrus to Henderson, or maybe Cyrus accompanied his father to Henderson before 1813. I have nothing on Cyrus' mother, Rebecca (HART) BATES, ever having been in Henderson. About 1817-18, Salmon ASPINWALL and his wife, Mary (MONTAGUE) ASPINWALL, moved their family, including a 7-year-old son, Delatus Miles ASPINWALL, from Rupert, VT, to Henderson. Mary's parents, Adonijah and Mary (SIMONDS) MONTAGUE, probably accompanied them as they died in Henderson in 1828 and 1831, respectively. Salmon and Mary ASPINWALL lived out their lives there, dying in Henderson within four days of each other in 1856. On 5 Jan 1819, a daughter, Lovina Arminda BATES, was born to Cyrus and Lydia (HARRINGTON) BATES in Henderson. Cyrus BATES died about 25 Sep 1839 in Henderson and is buried in Carpenter Cemetery. Lydia remarried in Henderson in 1841, remarried again, date and location unknown, and eventually died in Idaho in 1874. On 15 Jan 1840, Delatus Miles ASPINWALL and Lovina Arminda BATES were married in Henderson, and three children were born to them there. They left for Farmington, Wisconsin, in 1846, where more children were born, including my grandfather. Thus I have nine ancestors, with a possible tenth in Rebecca (HART) BATES, having lived in Henderson. Perhaps (or even likely) there are more. Maps of the area show a site called Aspinwall Corners located a few miles west of Henderson. Perhaps other Aspinwall's were there before Salmon moved to town, or maybe Salmon settled there and the area was named for him. Much is yet to be learned. Thanks for bearing with me. Any information will be appreciated. Robert Ginn Sitka, Alaska
