.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.
