Johnie Pitts Crombe Henson in Jefferson Co., Bessemer, AL
I am researching Johnie Pitts Crombe Henson who was born in Henderson Co., TNin 1868 to Harriet Jacobs and L. Crombe. He is later found in Jefferson Co., Bessemer, AL. He married Nina Lees (1872-1919). They had Edgar L. Henson (1893-1977) who married Edith and had Edith, 1919, Nina, 1919, Estell, 1920, and Edgar, 1929. John Lee Henson (1896-1961) married Louise E. Walburn. They had a child to die near birth and a daughter, Emily J. Henson. Several researchers say Johnie was the son of Nathan "Turk" Henson. He was not. BUT, was he adopted and why? Had his mother married a Henson after the death of his father, L. Crombe? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thank you, Kim
