DNA Test Results for Augusta VA Hendersons?
I am trying to get in contact with a male descendant of the Augusta VA Henderson line. I descend from Daniel Henderson who died 1772 in that county. I believe Daniel is related to the "three brothers" - John, James, and Samuel (and William?) who came to Augusta possibly via Ulster from Scotland.
Recently, I found a book titled "The McClure Family" by James McClure published 1914. In it there is a letter from Alexander Henderson dated March 25, 1819 Greene Co TN(son of Andrew Henderson who was son of Samuel Henderson and Jane Leeper). Alexander states in this letter "I have sent two letters to Augusta, one to Uncle Daniel Henderson, another to Cousin John Alexander. I have not received any answer yet —".
If this letter is accurate, then Samuel and Jane did have a son named Daniel who was not listed in his Will. I know this is a long shot but with similar naming patterns in families in those days perhaps this would help tie in my Daniel to the family of brothers John, Samuel, and James.
If you have any information either historical or DNA, please get in touch with me. I would appreciate any and all help. Thank you.
