Surname: Henson, Hinson, Forbish
-------------------------
Henson, William and Jesse ... brothers, migrated to Martin/Orange/Harrison
Counties INDIANA from Randolph County NORTH CAROLINA. They were found in
the 1790 Randolph County NC census and in the 1820/30 census in IN.
Both brothers applied for Pensions as Revolutionary War veterans fighting
for NC. Both William Henson, born about 1757, and Jesse Henson, stated
that they had lived in Randolph County NC and that they were born in Culpeper
County Virginia (next to Stafford County). I believe one of the brothers
is the father of my gg grandfather George W. Henson who married Anna Forbish
on July 20, 1825 in Martin County INDIANA. Later, George and his wife Anna,
with their children, were found living in Laurel County KENTUCKY in the
1850 census.
Any cousins "out there" that have information on these Revolutionary War
pensioners or George W. Henson and his wife Anna Forbish?
Does any of this "Ring-A-Bell". Thanks for your help.
