Thomas, the Pioneer settled in an area called Rocky Springs, about three miles wast of the settlement called Bean Station.
William: The male members of William's Family seem to be accounted for
as most of them died young. Father Thomas deeded 286 acres of land to
William. He lived his entire life on this land, which was in the same
area where his father lived. There is a cemetery there with several
Henderson's in it. It is at the junction of US Highway 11W and 25E.

Yancey's security. This case was introduced on August 20, 1811 and
continued on November 18th and 19th.)
November 19, 1811 - Grainger County Court Minutes Vol. II:
Ordered by the Court that Thomas Henderson Jr. be appointed guardian of
Sarah Henderson and Polly Henderson minor heirs of Wm. Henderson Dec'd
for the purpose of defending a petition about to be filed relative to
the dividing of he land of John Coulter, Dec'd. in which they hold and
interest.
Early the next year reference to Thomas's guardianship again appears in the Court Minutes:
February 18, 1812:

John Henderson deeded land to George Henderson in Hawkins north of the Holston River
further proof that George is the son of Thomas the Pioneer (or as I call him the Political dude)
Samuel Henderson of Hawkins County talks about in his will 'to my grandson George'. As I said, the Henderson's of Hawkins and the Henderson's of Grainger are 100% related.
