Henderson Brotherly Love....

Thomas Henderson, the Pioneer, clues people missed...

It is widly rumored on various sources that Thomas Henderson's parents were 'Thomas and Dorcas Henderson', and I have no proof that they are his parents BUT I have proof who his brothers are.

I will go into detail to that in another post... but for now I am making notes:

Jefferson County TN 1822

Capt. Riggs Company
 George Henderson , 1wp 140 acres

Capt. Scott Company
James Henderson 1 WP
Wm. Henderson (Heirs) 3bp 246 acres

Capt. Craig's Company 
Wm. Henderson 1wp 72 acres

Capt. Gass Company
Andrew Henderson, 1bp 400 acres
John Henderson (son of Andrew) 1wp 28p 200 acres
Noden Henderson 1wp
Robert N. Henderson 1 WP.

Both Andrew and James bought land the same month, date and year as Thomas Henderson

 in the late 1700.

there is a John Henderson in Hawkins County who eventually moves to Grainger and later 

Jefferson, I believe is yet another brother:

Brotherly Love:

Thomas Henderson

Andrew Henderson (note he has a son named James. Maybe he named his first born after him)

James Henderson

according to this website,

Jefferson County TN, several of the Henderson the early days were
        thought to have descendants of John Andrew Henderson and his wife Mary
        Russell. John Andrew Henderson died in Washington County VA in 1780. His
        father may have been Samuel Henderson (1713-1782) His wife Mary, moved
        the family to Jefferson County TN. There were five sons and four
        daughters. The six sons were: Robert; Andrew, John, Thomas, Joseph, and
        Samuel. One daughter was Florence who married Alexander Shadden.  

only problem with that paragraph above is...

no talk about a James HOWEVER, as we all know, a lot that was written about the Henderson

family was incorrect. I have, in other blog posts wrote about the things that were written

wrong about the Henderson's of Grainger/Hawkins/Jefferson counties. At least my line.

So if this is true:

John Andrew Henderson's father was a Samuel Henderson and his father was William Henderson and

 Margaret Bruce!

And that means Thomas Henderson was officially from Augusta County, Virginia!
