WILLIAM FRANKLIN HENDERSON 1811-1890

"Uncle William Henderson" as named in the Henderson Family Bible creates a question as to who the "Uncle" is? Milton Eugene Henderson (author of this web site) knows of four (4) William Hendersons, the first being William Franklin Henderson 1811-1890 who married in Greene County, Alabama in 1835 and is buried in the Bethel (not Beulah) Baptist Church Cemetery at Ralph, Ala. just northeast of Greene Co. over in Tuscaloosa Co. This WFH had a brother David Henderson 1806-1895 who also married in Greene Co. in 1835, David had a son also named William Franklin Henderson (known as "Sr." in Miss.) 8/1838-10/1866 apparently named after his 1811-1890 Uncle W.F.H. This 2nd William Franklin Henderson 1838-1866 was a Confederate Soldier during the W.B.T.S. and suffered wounds and was captured/prisoner of war and died soon after The War in 1866 back "at Home in Ala." at age 28, his burial place is unknown to MEH. The 1st eldest WFH 1811-1890 died at age 79 years!

The 3rd William Franklin Henderson 1863-1943? (known as Jr. in Miss.) (born during the WBTS while father in service) was the son of the 2nd WFH (Sr. in Miss.). MEH has heard that the 2nd WFH 1838-1866 has been considered a brother of Edmund Waller Henderson and the son of the 1st eldest WFH, but believes that is in error when the Census records are studied, the 2nd WFH being the son of David Henderson instead. The 4th and least likely William to be considered the "Uncle William Henderson" in question is Samuel Henderson's reported son, William ? Henderson, born 1847 in Miss.

When considering all the above, especially the age differences, 1st WFH death age 79 and his nephew the 2nd WFH with his death at age 28, MEH is of the opinion that the "Uncle William Henderson" picture is of 1811-1890 William Franklin Henderson eldest to Greene Co., Ala. from South Carolina. The picture is apparently of an elderly Henderson. With Confederate Soldier 2nd WFH back "at Home in Ala." to die probably in Greene Co. in 1866 at age 28, he and his brothers (all of David) calling their uncle "Uncle", the eldest WFH, such maybe where the "Uncle" came from for the picture. MEH believes the picture is of 1811-1890 William Franklin Henderson, his and others' Gt-Gt-Grandfather!
