The HENSON surname is Eileen's paternal line. I do not know much about this line or its origins beyond Alabama in the 1840s. Would love to hear from anyone who can connect with this line.
Stories and History:
Ahnentafel # 9: Margaret HENSON (c1840-1915). Margaret was born circa 1840 in Alabama, according to 1910 census. The 1870 and 1880 census have her born circa 1843.
