Jean - Samuel, according to my information is the father of Paul Hendershot.I have been looking for the buriel place of Paul Hendershot, who died in Winslow, Henry County, Missouri.He was in the 1870 Census and not the 1880 census.In 1875, his wife Phebe (Pheobe) purchased 6 cemetery lots in Section 317 of Laurel Oak Cemetery.There is one grave, A-317, that has a marker with P.H. only on it.In 1975 someone put a memorial marker at the foot of that grave for Phebe Hendershot, who is buried in Comet Cemetery near Powhatten, Kansas.It is my contention that Paul is the one buried in that grave and I have contacted the administrator of the Laurel Oak Cemetery Association who is inclined to sort of agree with me and is changing her records that it is not Phebe and probably Paul.I contend that he died in 1875.I have been researching the probate records in Henry County, Missouri, and have still to check the early part of 1875 and the end of 1874.I am hoping that I will find something there to corroberate my contention.I am daughter of Earl Dickson, sister of Olive Dickson Casidy, motehr of Fern Cassidy.I believe that is your lineage.
