Samuel seems to have used current married names (for instance, he baptized his mother as Hannah Tallent). So, I've tried to look through them to see how they group together: -Samuel and J/G or M Henderson are James' parents. Sollars would refer to one of Hannah's parents. -Mary Henderson is his wife. -He refers to Uncle Wakins and Abijah Flower, to whom he says he is nephew. No idea how to track those. -Mary Henderson, Thomas Henderson, and William Henderson seem to go together; as if Mary is mother to Thomas and William. Henderson would be her married name, so she would be married to James' brother -- or possibly to the brother of the grandfather, Samuel. -John and Samuel Henderson are his father's (James) brothers. My records indicate they married Charlotte Miller and Lucy Rickman, respectively. I don't know which Henderson was married to Mary and father to Thomas and William. -"Uncle" Chapman and James and Sophia Chapman seem to go together. It's hard to tell if they are connected to Thomas and Mary Crawford just below. The only Chapman I could find was William Chapman who married Elizabeth Henderson (dau of John Henderson and Charlotte Miller). -Thomas and Mary Crawford also appear to go together (and you have a marriage record for them). I see no reliable way to connect them. -William and Elizabeth Stewart are listed as cousins. Samuel did have a cousin Elizabeth, who married William Chapman. I don't know if these things are related. Maybe Elizabeth married William Stewart after William Chapman? -William and James Kilgore are listed as cousins. James Kilgore married Samuel's cousin Jean (dau of John Henderson and Charlotte Miller). William was listed as his father. James could have also had a brother named William. Also, Jean could have have sons named either James or William. I know, I'm not much help, am I? I thought I had a good theory until I saw the list. --Jay Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
