NOTES: 1850, 1860, 1870,
1880 Ripley County, Indiana censuses. Cemetery records. Much information
not only about birth and deaths, but also about the lives of Milton
Moon Henderson and his children comes from the extensive writings
of Clinton F. Henderson. He compiled a family history in 1928,
and continued to explore and write about the family as long as
he lived, including extended visits with his brothers and sisters
across the United States. Clint was a Seventh Day Adventist preacher;
my grandmother, Rissa Hammon Henderson, remarked that his visits
used too last a bit too long for her patience, especially as his
religious convictions precluded meat in the diet. She confessed
that she took a bit of mischievous delight in serving them meat
disguised as a vegetarian dish, and that Clint's wife, Inez, worked
just as hard to serve vegetarian dishes and convince the others
that it was meat-based.

NOTES: Again, most of this
family information comes from Clinton Henderson, as noted below
the main entry for Milton Moon Henderson, and from the same census
& cemetery records. Mort Henderson represented Ripley County
in the Indiana State Legislature, 1874-75, I have inherited a
photograph of him, which is inscribed on the back, in his own
hand, giving his birth date (see the Photo Gallery).
Charles
Henderson
- Born most likely in Ireland,
sometime about 1746
- Died probably in Virginia.
He is supposed to have emigrated through Fairfax County, Virigina,
according to Clint Henderson, but this is thus far unproven other
than by the family story.
- Married: unknown. The
surname Bailey suggests itself, by one son's middle name.
- Father:

- b. 1776, Ireland
- d. 13 November 1840, Ripley
County, Indiana
- m. Mary S. Richards, 28 December 1809, Jessamine County, Kentucky
Mary
S. Richards
- Born 14 February 1793,
Haldrough Hill, Kentucky
- Died 27 May 1865, Ripley
County, Indiana
- Buried: Henderson Cemetery,
Ripley County, Indiana
- Married Edward Henderson, 28 December 1809, Jessamine County, Kentucky.
- Father: James Richards
- Mother: Elizabeth Buck
NOTES: Mary's tombstone,
which is still very legible, give the birth and death dates, and
the birth location. Haldrough Hill, however, seems to have disappeared,
at least outside local reference. It may well be a place name
local to Jessamine County, Kentucky.
James
Richards & Elizabeth Buck
- Born c1756, Lancaster
County (?), Pennsylvania
- Died c1834, Jessamine
County, Kentucky
- Married Elizabeth Buck,

Allen Richards
NOTES: James Richards enlisted
in the Revolutionary War, 1775, from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
and re-enlisted at the end of that year for 3 or 4 years, or for
the duration of the war. 1st Pennsylvania Regiment; he fought
at the Battle of Quebec under Benedict Arnold, and later at Princeton,
after which he was taken prisoner near Dearby, by the Hessians.
Worked as a tailor in Jessamine County, Kentucky, following the
war. Pension # S35627, Jessamine County. There was a sizable Richards
family in Pennsylvania, of Welsh extraction, several of whom fought
for the Colonies during the Revolution. It is like that James
is a part of this family.
