Nothing like a follow up almost 10 years later...
My info is spotty at best.But I show Henson born abt 1780 in Maryland to Zachariah Barlow Jr and Eleanor Hickman, widow of Solomon Hickman.Ancestry.com trees have her maiden name as Seares.
Henson served in the War of 1812 in TN.He received a patent of land afterwards in IL but instead settled in Jefferson County TN with his half-brothers, Henry and Elisha Hickman.He received a military pension 1822-1828 and died in 1838.
My gg-something grandparents, Henry D Hickman and Sarah Barlow, married and moved to Greene County MO.Henry D is thought to be a great-grandson of Eleanor through her son, Henry.Sarah is thought to be a granddaughter of Eleanor through her son, Henson Barlow.So half first cousins once removed married.I think I got that relationship right.
Would love other input about this tree, whether we've made some good or poor assumptions about the line.
Who do you see in Knox County as family of Henson?
