Hugh Larimore - Nancy Larimore - George Henderson Connection



Nancy Larimore's daddy: Hugh Larimore.
here is a clue:

on a ancestry.com message board post, here is a clue about Hugh Larimore:
Hugh Larimore served in the rev. war in NC. He
married Fanny Rowland in the late 1700's.
They moved to Grainger Co TN by 1785. In 1810
Hugh and his family moved to Jefferson Co.TN.
In 1830 they were living in McMinn Co. TN
In 1838 his son Roland and wife Mary Polly
McFarland Larrimroe moved to Cooper Co. MO
taking Hugh and Fanny with them.
In 2000 a rev war marker was placed on Hugh's grave
in Cooper Co. He died around 1840. Roland
is listed in Morgan Co in 1860 living with his son
George and some of George's sisters.


So on 1 January 1810, Hugh's daughter Nancy Larimore, married George Henderson in Grainger County, Tn.

His Will talks about George Henderson and his daughter Nancy (Larimore) Henderson:
Will of Hugh Larimore:
Filed and recorded on 7 February 1848 in Cooper Co. MO

2nd I will unto my daughter Nancy Henderson wife of George Henderson five dollars. (note: read the full Will here)
This does back up. For the 1810 Census of Grainger County, TN for Hugh it says:
State: Tennessee
County: Grainger County
Residence Year: 1810
Household Remarks: Taxable Property List; Lands: 100; Situation: 0; "W[hite] Pole": 1; "B[lack] Pole": 1; "Stud Horse": 0; Town Lots: 0.
So my take is that George Henderson had moved to Grainger County, TN , met that fine young lady, Nancy Henderson, got hitched on Jan. 1st, 1810. Had a bunch of kiddos, and at some point, he went to Missouri to meet up with Hugh. I am going to make a fictional story idea about this: he and his wife went up there to visit family and he got sick and died... and thus he is buried there.
So is the mystery solved? Is this George Henderson the one born in Virginia to James Henderson?? And James's daddy would be : Alexander Henderson???
to be continued.....
