I have read your post with interest. I believe you are correct in the information it contains. After "Old Paul" died his property was sold for the benefit of his male children. Their names were as follows: William Henson b 1745, d 1786---- John Henson b ???? d ????---- James Henson b ???? d ????---- Richard Henson b 1860 d 1856+ ---- Paul Henson b 1762 d 1808 ---- The Girls were: Winetry Henson Lewis b ~1764 d ????---- Martha Henson May b 1766 d 1850+ ---- One of the the four fathered my ancestor who I believe to have the name of John but have never been able to prove it. It might be helpful if one could find who the wives were. Most of the four married and had children before they left North Carolina. They all left NC (Ashe Co) shortly after their father died and settled in Clay County Kentucky. Can any body come up with those marriages.?? Kind regards, Ralph
