I'm glad you were able to find the book Somewhere in there it does say John C Henson
owned one of the brick houses in Vanderburgh. My Hensons left Vanderburgh about 1826 and
went to Wayne Co Illinois. But if you come across William C Henson born 1821 or John C
Henson 1822 both born in Vanderburgh I'm still looking for their father. My William
married Isabell Slover she was born in IN. Believe one of the sons of John Henson and Jane
Goodbread are parents no proof or listing ever found.
The family of John F Henson and Jane Goodbread came from KY to Indiana in 1815 children
were William, married Sarah Harris, Thomas married Rebecca Langston, Jesse, married Fannie
McConnell, Ibby Jane married Joseph Chapman, Reuben F.Henson left for IL first,then John
F. Jr Henson married Mary Polly Chapman, David F. Henson married Elizabeth Harrison then
Jane Kennedy, & Cynthia UNK, and burnt in a house fire in IN, he never left Indiana,
Mary Catherine Henson married Preston Slover, Sarah Henson, married Jeremiah Chapman,
Martha Patsy Henson married James Slover. It is said they may have also had a daughter
Nancy who married Caleb Goodbread. Some of John & Janes children born in NC and some
in Warren KY. John F Henson died 7-25-1835 In Wayne Co IL His wife Jane received his
pension she lived to be over 100 years old buried in Henson Cemetery Orchard Township
Wayne Co IL. You can look up the transcribed 1850 Census of Wayne Co ILlinis and see most
of this family. They are a!
lso in the book History of Wayne and Clay Co Illinois. Hope this helps some. Mary Henson
