HENDERSON -
I am searching for a James Lewis Henderson who married Sarah Elizabeth Henderson on
June 14, 1865 in Granville Co NC. I hope that his father was James who was listed on the 1870
Census in the Fancy Gap District. James was listed as age 63 and Diahan as age 45. There is a
Delilah Henderson age 55 next door who could be James' aunt. These ages would be
consistent with being the parents of James Lewis Henderson. James Lewis Henderson
named his first daughter Delilah. I am hoping someone has a clue.......Patricia Henderson
