To continue my post of last night: Many of these couples (and at least one of the single women) had children I have listed only those children for whom I can identify an associated spousal surname. There may also be a Doc/Dock Housden in the area - thought to perhaps have been a blacksmith or horse doctor. Other researchers in the area claim that he signed any/all documents as Doc/Dock Housden. I've not found any reference to him in my research. I'd love to know if he existed and where he fit into the scheme of thing. Children of Benjamin and Elizabeth Turner Housden John - no proof that he came to Henry County Nancy - no proof that she came to Henry County Polly married a Samuel Chamberlain - no proof that they came to Henry County Benjamin - married a Susan Guy and DID NOT come to Henry County James Riley - married Elizabeth Crocker, migrated to Henry County and later on to Texas County, Missouri. Rebecca Jane - married a William Brown - no proof that they came to Henry County. The name William Brown has to be almost as common as John Smith! Elizabeth - we don't think married BUT she had three sons and they all came to Henry County James m. Louisa Ferguson Bertha m. Hurman Allbritton Thula m. George Tucker Andrew Jackson m. Callie Lamb Novella m. Benjamin Lax George m. Mary H Robinson William Wear m. Nancey Patten Alma m. Hollie B Chrisman Addra m. John Alexander Artie m. Marvin Steely Benjamin don't know if he married or not. Sarah married James Guy and stayed in Davidson County Edmund - came to Henry County but returend to Nashville to marry a Mary Ann Grubbs. They then disappeared. William - came to Henry County, married a Martha Smith (parents Henry and Susannah Smith). They stayed in the area Had three children - don't know that any of them married Samuel - married Emily Freeland (Parents Thomas and Jane Freeland). They stayed in the area for a while but by 1870 they were in Maurry County Ashely m. Queenie Pearl Dunn Henry Harrison (HH) married Nancy J Freeland Thomas m. Mattie Allbritton They stayed in the area permanently. Warry - died without issue at age 21 in one of the battles at Islnad 10 during the civil war. Tomorrow night I'll post surnames associated with grandchildren and great grandchildren of Benjamin and Elizabeth Turner Housden. I have much information to share on the Housdens. Also have a fair amount of info to share on the Freeland families of Henry/Calloway Counties.
