Jefferson County- 1850 Census George and Nancy Henderson

I posted a while back about George Henderson in 1850 census in Jefferson County:

George Henderson: Census 1850 : Jefferson County, Jefferson, Tennessee
Male: Age : 63
 Est. birth year: 1787 / birth place: North Carolina (still interesting..because Nancy's family was from North Carolina and I believe she was born there. Also, Stephen (H) Henderson states that in the 1880 census his daddy was born in Virginia. Could there be a mistake on the census? Yes. but where???)

Also, in another post, in Grainger County, TN, there were three Henderson's : William, Thomas and George for the males counted for in the early 1800s. Thomas was William's son and on George's marriage to Nancy, William was the marriage bond. Someone told me that William was born in North Carolina.
So more than likely, William and George are brothers. However, so far I cannot find any information for a William born in North Carolina or a George. Only Virginia.

So these are the people in the household:

George Henderson- Male- 63 yrs - Born in North Carolina


Nancy Henderson- Female - 49 years - Birth: North Carolina

Thomas Henderson- M-22-North Carolina

Mary Henderson -F- 25-North Carolina

Nancy Henderson-F-23-North Carolina

Lucinda Henderson-F-17-Tennessee

George R Henderson-M-19-Tennessee

Joseph R Henderson-M-14-Tennessee
 
Where would Stephen be in the 1850s census? He was still in Grainger, married to his second wife, Caroline Phillips .

And after looking at this, Stephen would be in his 40s. So good news? THis George and Nancy are not in Stephen's family.

But odd that it is pretty close with family names. 

Est. birth year: 1787
People in the household:

George Henderson M 63 North Carolina
Nancy Henderson F 49 North Carolina
Thomas Henderson M 22 North Carolina
Mary Henderson F 25 North Carolina
Nancy Henderson F 23 North Carolina
Lucinda Henderson F 17 Tennessee
George R Henderson M 19 Tennessee
Joseph R Henderson M 14 Tennessee
