I am now looking at Early Tennessee tax lists and guess what is in Hawkins County? not what but a who?
George Henderson. 1801, Hawkins County.
what I find interesting about these books that I purchased, is that they did leave out a few people's name who had lived there at that time. oh well. not important :)
So George was in Hawkin's County and before that? Franklin.. the lost state of Franklin.
which puts Geroge born between 1780 and 1789. so 1801 he would have been : 21-12 (1789) lol and if he was born in 1785, he would have been 16. Interesting.
So we can take off anywhere past 1785 that George Henderson was born. So his almost exact new birthdate is : 1780-1785. So by the time Stephen H. Henderson was born he would have been 30 (1780)-25 (1785) range
So now we have George's story. He was part of the Henderson Clan, the Thomas 'the Pioneer' clan.
one more document proofs I need and that is Stephen's land deed. TBC.....

Hnderson's of Greene County, Tennessee Marriage Records:
New post today.. moving from Grainger to Greene County.
Marriage records, a clue to connect my Thomas Henderson 'the pioneer' :
- Daniel Henderson marries Sarah Hickman : February 27th, 1798
who is Daniel? According to this site, he is the son of Joseph Henderson. No further information given.
This website says that he is the son of Alexander Henderson and Jean Wallace.
Most of the children had moved to Tennessee. But no talk about a 'Thomas Henderson' being a child of this Alexander Henderson and Jean Wallace.
another early marriage record:
David Henderson marries Jane Carson : March 17th, 1789
Who is David Henderson?
James Tallent marries Hannah Henderson on : December 5th, 1799. Who is Hannah? Hannah has no blood relation to the Hendersons. In fact, she married James Henderson (who died in 1793) and remarried to James.
Philip Shavor marries Jenny Henderson April 2nd 1800. Who is Jenny Henderson?

Thomas Henderson's brothers?
I think a new clue has popped up on my obsessive search to get my line ironed out :)
We know that Thomas Henderson, the pioneer... had land purchased in Greene County, eventually becamse Hawkins and some land broke off to become Grainger,etc...
Thomas' land stayed in the same area. North of the Holston River.
and then John, he sells land to George Henderson. on North of Holston River in 1812.
an he also purchase land in 1793 on the North of Holston River.
Are they related? Hell yes they are!
how?
Father and son? or ........ Brothers? More clues will come up as I look at the land deeds for John Henderson. If Thomas sold some land to John, that means he is the son of Thomas.
now where will that place George now? Either John is the father of George OR George and John are brothers.
to be continued......

Henderson file: Prentiss Price; Truth from Fiction...
.So I was questioning the article that Prentiss Price wrote on "Thomas Henderson".
fact: he was heavily into politics
fact: he did live in Hawkins and Grainger.. as well as Claiborne counties (the author failed to mention the later)
fiction: author says that Tom's parents were Thomas and Doracas Henderson. That is 100% false and I spent hours trying to figure out how that author got that information!
author said that Sarah who married John Pilant was Thomas's daughter. FICTION: She was the daughter of Capt. William Henderson
FICTION: author writes "Henderson was living in Marion County in 1827 and 1823 he was in Warren County"
not sure how true that is but I believe at those times he was still in the north.
author failed to mention that he tried to run for governor.
also author fails to metion that he was living in the State of Franklin. Some people confuse the State of Franklin Thomas with Judge Richard Henderson's family...
BUUT
I now have got the mess of the knot of the Henderson's untied. Thomas Henderson, Thomas 'the Pioneer' Henderson..
IS 100% Related to Judge Richard Henderson. A theory I questioned for a year now.
but looking at the little clues...
now to figure out how.

John Henderson of Grainger ; John Henderson of Hawkin's County
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.

George Henderson and Nancy Larimore - New findings!!!
As you all know by now, I am 'stalking' my ancestor George Henderson's footsteps.
Why? Because he is a mystery.
He married Nancy Larimore in 1810 in Grainger, TN. William Henderson stood up for him.
1830, he was in the Grainger County Census records.
1840-1860 he moved to Jefferson County.
he died after 1860.
now where did he come from?
I got some information from Hawking's County and a hard-to-find book (unless you go to a Tennessee State Library) I got off on Amazon.com called "Early East Tennessee Taxpayers'
(FYI: I can look up anyone you want for free :) contact me: subject: Genealogy lookup
on page. 66, it lists George Henderson : 70 acres of land : 1809.
I called Hawkin's County and they told me that there was a George Henderson and two entry's (I will find out what both are!! :) )
One for: 1809 and another for 1812. One of them says a John Henderson deeded land to George Henderson (I believe in 1809.. might be 1812. I will find out tomorrow and post).
it was located : North of the Holston River. .which is on the boarder of Bean Station which is the land that Thomas Henderson, the political dude had.
very. interesting. Indeed.
So who was John Henderson?
According to this site,
Samuel and Elizabeth (Williams)children Henderson were: Mary who married Joab Mitchell who lived in Tennessee; John who married on 4 June 1772 to Sarah Hinton the widow of Solomon Alston Jr.; Elizabeth who married John Beackham. This John was an attorney and was named in some Tennessee records settling land deeds for related Henderson family members.
That is a good clue :) Now there is a Will for Samuel Henderson:
Why? Because he is a mystery.
He married Nancy Larimore in 1810 in Grainger, TN. William Henderson stood up for him.
1830, he was in the Grainger County Census records.

1. Pleasant Henderson married: Louisiana Armstrong "Lou": born: Dec. 7, 1808 died Apr. 11, 1881 in (Arkansas) - more information here.
Also, Nathanial Henderson who was in Hawkins County, was related to the famous Judge Richard Henderson.
here is an interesting fact:
"member Constitutional Convention of 1796 and of the Tennessee General Assembly."
(from TN General Assembly Biographies; Hawkins co, TN)"
"member Constitutional Convention of 1796 and of the Tennessee General Assembly."
(from TN General Assembly Biographies; Hawkins co, TN)"
below is Thomas Henderson:
"House, 1st General Assembly 1796-97"
Thomas Henderson and Nathanial Henderson's land were next to each other.
I now believe that Thomas and Nathanial were related. They were both educated. They both loved politics.
Going back to George. I now know that George was educated.
Samuel had a grandson named George Henderson. not the same George but a proof that George Henderson, son of Thomas Henderson was related to Samuel Henderson. The fact that Sammy boy had a grandson named George is further proof that these Henderson families are related.
So folks, we can officially scratch off that Thomas Henderson was born in Virginia to Thomas Henderson and Dorcas Henderson. Not the correct line. what-so-ever.
2 pats on my back.
now back to scooby-doo mystery solvin' :)

Richard Henderson vs Judge Richard Henderson - Tennessee-kentucky links.
Here is a thought:
Judge Richard Henderson, the famous Henderson who everyone with the Henderson surname wants to have links with.....
we know that he
- bought land in Kentucky and Tennessee (before they were called that! )
but there was something I was reading, a land deed from the late 1700s with Richard Henderson's name and I thought for the longest time that this Rich was THE Judge Richard... turns out it wasn't. Richard Henderson - Judge Richard Henderson that is, died in 1785 (1734–1785). the document I have is from 1797.
Also tax records, shows that THIS Richard and Thomas were related. I will guess brothers. So this is a new clue that most people have failed to check out. I will look more into this today and blog my findings later :)

Now off to Search for Henderson's of Claiborne County, TN
I know now there is a connection to the Claiborne , TN Henderson's and the Hawkins and Grainger Henderson's...
Thomas 'the Pioneer' Henderson lived in Claiborne, 'gifted' land to his son William in Grainger, which means he had lived in three counties ...but at the same time he didn't. Basically 'Bean Station' was once part of Spencer County.. (think 'State of Franklin' or 'Lost State of Franklin'), then Spencer turned Hawkins.. later Hawkins divided up and turned to Grainger and later Claiborne.
William dies and land goes to Thomas.
but what about 'The Pioneer''s other kids? Surely he had more than one child and now I know he did.
Remember, in previous blog posts, I have become obsessive trying to figure out who 'George Henderson's' daddy is? Now I know it is 'Thomas 'the Pioneer' Henderson's kid. Makes sense.
in the census records below for 1850 , you see a Thomas Henderson who is '80' years old and born in ' Virginia' around 1770. George was born bet. 1780 and 1789, so basically. Thomas 'the Pioneer' had: William, Thomas and George thus far. I am sure he had a whole load more kids!
note: Early 1800s census records are either lost or not online. So all I found online was from 1850 and 1860. If I find more, I will post it.
But as you can see below,

Thomas ' The Pioneer' Henderson's Official Familly Tree...
As I work on my book for my great-Aunt, I was thinking about the connection with Stephen H. Henderson and George Henderson as well as another 'Martin' Henderson , a name that is thus far not talked about in any family tree or Internet.
which means:
Thomas 'The Pioneer' had a lot of kids, and so did one of his sons 'William Henderson'.
Here is what I got thus far:
Thomas Henderson: 1742-1827
Jeremiah Henderson - 1775 - South Carolina or Virginia?
Thomas Henderson, Jr -d. 1858ish
William Henderson - 1770-1808
George Henderson -1780ish
William Henderson had a Thomas Henderson and a Martin Henderson (as well as other children)
George Henderson married Nancy Larimore. Nancy's dad was Hugh Larimore who eventually moved to MO. They had a son named Stephen H. Henderson. 'H' stands for "Hugh". Where did Stephen come from? That is a mystery that will probably never be found out!
George was popular because of George Washington, that explains why George was not a family name.
And now a new theory about Thomas 'the Pioneer' Henderson and Judge Richard Henderson. I now 90% believe that they were related and more than likely cousins, only because of where Thomas' son William was born.
