| I have been actively researching the Henry Louis Hendrix family since 1977 and have finally been able to determine that Henry was the son of John Hendrix shown on the 1820 Giles Co., TN Census and the 1830 and 1840 Censuses of Pickens Co., AL. Henry was born on 24 Dec. 1822 in Giles Co., Tennessee (according to a family bible given to one of his children). He married Mary Edna McGee on 9 Dec. 1847 in Winston Co., Mississippi. They left Mississippi about 1850 with several other families from Winston Co., first settling in Cherokee Co., Texas. About 1855, they moved to Limestone Co., Texas where they lived near the now-deserted town of Springfield for several years before moving to the southern part of the county near Thornton. Henry and Mary had a total of 8 children, 7 of whom lived to raise large families in Limestone Co. Henry died on 30 Sep. 1907 and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Old Tidwell Cemetery just west of Thornton. His wife Mary Edna died on 17 Mar. 1911 and is buried beside her husband. This cemetery was named for the Rev. David J. Tidwell, a Methodist minister who married Henry and Mary Edna in Winston Co. and later performed the wedding ceremony for their son George W. Hendrix and Martha A. Walling on 25 Jan. 1882. While I have been searching for Henry's parents, I have found much more information on other related families, including Oliver, Walling, McGee, Latham, Chisum, Magee, Powdrill, Kirkpatrick, Avinger, Dunn, Patrick, Williams, Wiley, Titus, Thompson, Scott, Duncan, Rozell and many, many others. All of these families are included in the recently updated report available through the link below. If anyone looking through the families is able to supply additional information (or sees any unfortunate errors), please feel free to let me know. When cousins marry, duplicate entries in the ancestral tree are guaranteed. This is the case with mine and probably everyone else's, given enough generations. It tends to make the report look a little messy, but I don't know any way around it. I have tried to identify uncertain data (names, dates, places, etc.) by placing it in [brackets]. Please pay attention to this! It is often tempting to establish an ancestral connection with any kind of evidence. Good genealogy should always be based on proof, which (short of genetic testing) means a preponderance of overwhelming evidence. Good hunting! |
