Old Post about Henderson in Tennessee history..

Found this on Rootsweb:

Henderson Ancestors and Descendants by Ethlyn Henderson Fisher and Alvina Wells Henderson

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.

In 1796 his uncle John (Coffman) of Greene County, Tennessee purchased land from Daniel Henderson of Jefferson County, Tennessee on the Nolichucky . His father Harmon married a Margarett Hickman probably in Shenandoah Va.

Harmon lived on the Nolichucky near Lick Creek near Warrensburg Tn. John and Ferby had children:

Mahalla Henderson was one of two simultaneious common-law wives of Hotel owner Thomas Whiteside of Bean's Station, Tennessee. The other wife was Jane Holt. He legitimized the "marriages" in his will. My descendency began with their daughter, Harriet J. Whiteside (1832 TN -1862 TN). She married John/J. D. Alexander. Their son Thomas Whiteside Alexander 1854 OH-1932 Ca was my grandfather.

Notes for ETHELDRED J. HENDERSON:
Date of birth, March 13, 1810 from tombstone is in question. The stone was carved by Knoxville stone-cutter Robert McIntyre, who appears in the Knoxville Directory from 1859-1882. He was not listed in the 1850 census for Knoxville.

I was probably placed by Ethlered's son, William A. Henderson after his sister, Mary Ann's death in 1875. he and his mother, Emeline were still alive. This explains the motto on the monument:
