John C Henson 1872-1967 AL, KY
My name is Richard Henson. I have been researching my family tree for
about a year and a half. I am wondering if we might have some common
ancestry. I happen to have the Henson surname on both sides of my
family as recent as my grandparents.
My fathers Hensons are from the area of Lookout Mountain which borders
TN, AL and GA. The only definite location I have for them is Fort
Payne, DeKalb, AL around 1900. My great grandfather, John Clifford Henson,
lived in Fort Payne where he worked on a farm with his brother. I have yet
to discover his brothers name as they had a falling out over something
to do with land. He then moved to Harlin County Kentucky. He married
Gertrude McSpadden, also from the Fort Payne area.
My mothers Hensons are from TN. I know they lived in Laurence Co.,
Giles Co. and Maury Co. from about 1860-1940.My great grandfather is
Robert Herbert Henson.He had several brothers and at least one sister, Lula Jane "Janey"
Henson who married Lewis Powell. Their father was George W. Henson.
He was married to Martha A. Wilcox.
I have other names and dates if you think there may be some connection
with your Hensons.
