Kentuckiana Genealogy: County: Orange Co., Indiana: HENSON, brothers JESSE and WILLIAM ... REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERANS

By Roaten E. Hinson, Jr. on Monday, October 02, 2000 - 07:45 pm:

HENSON, Jesse born abt 1762 VA and his brother William born abt 1761 VA moved to INDIANA from Randolph County NC. Jesse and William fought in the Revolutionary War for the North Carolina line, and afterwards moved to Kentucky and finally Indiana. Jesse applied for his pension while living in Crawford Co and William while living in Martin Co INDIANA. Jesse Henson is said to have lived for a while in Orange Co. Jesse and William had a brother, "George Henson" born in the early 1760's. I think my gggrandfather George W. Henson, born abt 1799 NC, is the son of this George Henson. George W. Henson and Anna Forbish married on July 20, 1825 in Martin Co INDIANA. Any HENSON researchers/cousins/friends out there with any information on this HENSON line? Please share with me any information that you have. You can write or email me. "R.E." Hinson, Jr. P.O. Box 33253 Los Gatos, CA 95031 or email roaten@prodigy.net THANKS A BUNCH FOR YOUR HELP.
