Nancy -- I am not sure this will help, but I have some information taken
from my Bailey's who are descended from a Leffler. I have two Henderson
families who married Baileys that lived in Decatur Co.
1. Joseph Henderson m. Elizabeth Bailey, (b. 16 Jul 1833) (no date for his
birth, their marriage or deaths)
1. (dau) Lucinda (b. 10 Feb 1853, no death date) m. on 29 Dec 1870 to
Isaac D. Truitt (b. 1833 d. 04 Aug 1895)
(their ch) 1. James B. (b. 11 Nov 1871, no death date)
2. Walter M. (b. 29 Dec 1872)
3. Warren I. (b. 25 Mar 1874)
4. Isaac A. (b. 07 Nov 1875)
The second family is:
1. Fay Henderson (no dates) m. Edith E. Bailey (b. 15 Aug 1891, no death
date or marriage date, but they were reported to have been married in St.
Paul, IN)
1. (son) Edward F. (b. 24 Nov 1911)
Note that Elizabeth Bailey was a great aunt of Edith E. Bailey--do not know
the relationship of the Hendersons. The source of this information was a
book on the Bailey family that was written about 1920.
If you have a connection to either of these families, I can give you more
Bailey information and the connection to the Leffler family. I would also
like information you might have on the two families and their descendants
for my Leffler files. I am always willing to share. You can reach me at

Hi List,
Anyone working on the Henderson family in Decatur CO. Indiana in the
