Was Thomas Henderson the political guy a Justice of Peace for Henry County , Virginia?
I am looking for the proof. But here is something interesting:

by 1787, my Thomas would have been in Tennessee. I do not see him listed there. But for 1777, he is there. So could there be some truth to him being a JP ?
