I would love more on anything you have on these lines. I do not have parents for Daniel Nathan Henson in my database, but Mary (Lucy?) Alice Austin was the daughter of Augustus G. Austin and Cynthis Rebecca Lard. Another of their daughters Jossie Viola Austin is my fathers' great-grandmother. My AUSTIN lines: Stephen Austin & Dorcas Pinson, son Sanders Austin & Nancy Qualls, : Two of my lines tie in here: 1. one son of Sanders Austin & Nancy Qualls is William (Dock) Austin & Sarah Qualls, son Augustus G. Austin & Cynthia Rebecca Lard, daughter Jossie Viola Austin & Samuel (Mack) David Freshour, daughter Elizabeth Freshour & William Houston Cossey, son George Lewis Cossey & Mary Catherine Michael (also a Qualls descendant), son James Edward Cossey & Shirley Jean Wood, daughter Deborah Faye Cossey (me) & Richard (Jake) Duane Wasserburger. 2. another son of Sanders Austin & Nancy Qualls is Archibald Saunders Austin & Martha Ann Qualls, daughter LuVicey Austin & John Houston George Cossey, son William Houston Cossey & Elizabeth Freshour listed above. My grandfather George Lewis Cossey - both of his grandmothers were AUSTIN lines. Now for the LINDSEY and ANDERSON side, which is my mothers side of the family: Rebecca Ford was the daughter of James Ford Sr. and Mary Holloman. She married an *Unk Anderson and had a daughter Rebecca Anderson. Rebecca Anderson married John L. Lindsey son on Samuel Lindsey Sr. and Elizabeth Ford. Johns' mother and Rebeccas' mother were sisters. I have more on the LINDSEY line backwards, but it is bare minimum. John L. Lindsey and Rebecca Anderson had three children; Sylvester B. (Benner?) Lindsey who married Mary Ellener Hodge, Philip Lindsey who married Francis (Franky) Sharp (my line - daughter of Charles Sharp Sr. and Matilda Anglin), and William Orin Lindsey who I have listed as marrying Mary A. Boshers, daughter of Henry Boshers and Levinia Martin. All I have on Louisa, daughter of William Orin and Mary A. Boshers Lindsey is that she was born in 1838. She married to Jerry H. Henson of Waterloo. Jerry had been previously married and was a native of Hardin Co., TN. There is a Jerry Henson married to a Elizabeth Henson 7 Mar 1850 in Lauderdale Co., AL pg.562 of vol.4-6 (1839-1857). I'm not sure this is the same. There are 5 HENSON marriages in these volumes. I am descended from; LINDSEY line: 1. Philip Lindsey b. 1804 Newberry Co., SC and Francis (Franky) Sharp b. 28 Oct 1808 VA. Married 24 May 1822 Laud. Co., AL 2. Andrew Jackson Lindsey b. 1832 Cypress Inn, Wayne Co., TN d. 17 Jul 1863 Ft. Delaware (POW) married Nancy Jane Murphy b. Aug 1837 AL d. abt 1910 AL, daughter of John Murphy and Alice/Alley *Unk, of Murphys' Crossroads and Murphys' Chapel. Married 30 Sep 1853 Laud Co., AL 3. Maraday Lindsey b. May 1854 AL (probably Lauderdale Co.) married Bettie Thompson b. Feb 1862 AL. I have no other info. on Bettie and am searching for her parents. Married 3 Feb 1878 Hardin Co., TN 4. Millard Lindsey b. Feb 1883 AL/MS d. 1 Oct 1954 West Memphis, Crittenden Co., AR married Sarah Minnie Lee George b. 11 Aug 1887 Lincoln Co., TN d. 7 Nov 1967 West Memphis, Crittenden Co., AR.

Shirley Jean Wood b. 19 Jul 1936 Gravely Springs, Laud. Co., AL d. 13 Dec 1998 Jackson, Madison Co., TN married James Edward Cossey b. 19 May 1935 Walnut Grove, Hardin Co., TN.

Married 2 Dec 1975 Huntsville, Madison Co., AL Some of this I do not have on my websites since I have recently matched up several names on the Lindsey line and found some new Lindsey, Thompson and Murphy information. If anyone can help me fill in blanks on these lines, I'm willing to share all I have.
