William Henderson - Albemarle County and Louisa County - information

j
From the Tennessee Cousins book, page . 415 it states this about William Henderson :

"William Henderson did not remain in ORANGE COUNTY long, apparently as of May 30th, 1755, he sold his land to James Nuckols, of Louisa County and was then living in Albemarle County where a son of Thomas Henderson,etc.."
NOTE 1: The book says on page . 418 that Thomas Henderson was a son of William Henderson and grandson of William Henderson, the emigrant of 1660-6. He was married to Elizabeth and he died on May 9th, 1769 in Louisa County, Virginia

NOTE 2 : my personal note is this, since this book was written in 1950, I wish people would stop quoting this book because, while a few things in there are accurate but the family lines are not accurate and one major one is "Thomas Henderson".

From a previous post I blogged about.. Thomas Henderson is a brother to William Henderson. I also know that in 1740, he stated that he immigrated from Ireland or Scotland (he was married in 1740 and was a headright in 1738,. . I will blog about this later)

point is: why is "TENNESSEE COUSINS" inaccurate? Simple. they did not have the resources like we have today.

okay going back to what the book said about WIlliam Henderson. I found this in a Louisa County Deed book :

Louisa Co. DB B-65-66 30 May 1755 William Henderson of Albemarle Co.,
Planter, to James Nuckols of Louisa Co., Planter, 10 pds currt. money, 200 acres
on south side of the Southanna River ... Wyatt's line, formerly Venables.
(Davis, p. 107)


 
on May 1st 1775, William Bibb and wife Sarah, AC, to William Henderson, AC, for 65 acres coves on the ridge at head of middle fork of Rucker's Run. Orig. del to Joell Ponton, 7 Feb 1789
