I just wanted to say "Happy Holidays" to everyone on this board and "Thank You" to everyone and anyone who helped me this year in my research. You may not know what you've done but I do. I may have gotten a website from you that you sent to someone else; I may have asked a "stupid" question and you were patient enough to answer; I may have asked for an obit or some other tidbit and you sent a jpeg copy or even more than I asked for. Whatever it was, again, THANK YOU. Happy Hunting and I hope we all find more than we're looking for next year. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

It is possible John Henderson was an important person to the Wharton's thus the use of his name. John Henderson Wharton's brother David Sterrett Wharton was my ancestor, David Sterrett being the minister of the church at the time David (Wharton) was born. The following books list Hendersons: WILLS OF MIFFLIN COUNTY 1789-1860 James Henderson, Derry Twp, w. 11/30/95, p. 12/16/95, wife Sara, sons Rickey (eldest), Samuel, David, daughters Margaret, Martha, Jane, (eldest), Elizabeth, Saran, Exec. wife Sarah & Robert Hunter Also listed: Elizabeth Henderson in will of John Saylor and a Dr. Joseph Henderson THE PEOPLE OF MIFFLIN COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA 1755-1798 Andrew Henderson of Wayne taxed 88-89 Robert Henderson of Wayne taxed 88-89 Thomas Henderson of Armagh freeman 85-87 1790 census lists James & Robert/Mifflin County James, John, John, Widow Henderson, William in Juniata Note: County lines changed frequently so be aware of where your Henderson's lived and what county they lived in at a particular time.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AcB.2ACE/1549.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks Mary: I believe the clue to this mystery is that Juniata Co. wasn't created until 1831 from Mifflin and so the census records and the early information can be listed in Mifflin even though they probably did not physically move. So, I believe that Samuel Horning was married to Jane Wright. They were still living in Juniata County in the 1860 census. At least, this is what I am going on at this point. Thanks for your interest. Dorcas Beaver
