Brec, If you have not already done so, you might want to check for your ancestors on 1850 and 1860 slave schedules of Henderson CoTn, people who owned slaves. There is an index. <A HREF="http://www.tngenweb.org/henderson/1850_slave_schedule.htm">Henderson County, Tennessee 1850 Slave Schedule Page</A> http://www.tngenweb.org/henderson/1850_slave_schedule.htm <A HREF="http://www.tngenweb.org/henderson/1860_slave_schedule.htm">Henderson County, Tennessee 1860 Slave Schedule Page</A> http://www.tngenweb.org/henderson/1860_slave_schedule.htm Might also check the below, especially anything with executors, settlements, deaths, etc. There is an index at bottom of the webscreen. I find it more beneficial to read each item in each section, rather than relying just on an index. There are other "Miscellany" by Mr. Jonathan Smith on various topics of Henderson CoTn, which have helped me a lot. Notice the deeds, too. http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/misc/gm1-01.htm <A HREF="http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/misc/gm1-01.htm">A Genealogical Miscellany Henderson County Tennessee</A> Go here to see the rest of the "Miscellany" by Mr. Jonathon Smith: http://www.tnyesterday.com/yesterday_henderson/index/people.htm <A HREF="http://www.tnyesterday.com/yesterday_henderson/index/people.htm">Yesterday's Henderson County, Tennessee - People</A> Keep in mind that sometimes information about people living and deaths, who lived in Henderson CoTn, were printed in the newspapers of Jackson, Madison CoTn. I found information on one of my ancestors, her death announcement, in newspaper of Jackson, TN, online information. Several of us had been trying to find out what happened to her for years. She lived in Henderson CoTn. <A HREF="http://www.tngenweb.org/records/madison/">Madison County Tennessee. Records Repository, TNGenNet, Inc.</A> Look for newspaper heading. The headings are alphabatized. and http://www.tngenweb.org/madison/ Lastly, this website has some information about epidemics of Tennessee, in particular Yellow Fever. http://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/ Linda
