I just ran across this on Ancestry. I have no idea how the data was gathered, except it says that it is Henry County 1840 Census data. Since personal information is so hard to come by before 1850, I thought someone on this list might be able to use this.

Peggy, I believe these are Henry County pensioners of the Revolutionary and War of 1812. I know Elias Bowden was. There is a book by Zella Armstrong titled TWENTY-FOUR HUNDRED TENNESSEE PENSIONERS and I suspect the list came from that.

I can confirm that the data on Elias Bowden and Matthew Alexander is contained in the 1840 census. Peggy, If you are still willing to do lookups, I would appreciate any information from the Will Books on the Humphreys family. Thanks in advance for you time and trouble.
