Robert HENDERSON and Betsy PARKER HENDERSON
|
| From the HENDERSON ANCESTRY prepared by Mary Helen (Mitchell) Hulse in 1931, and census records, it appears that Robert Henderson was born someplace in Scotland and came to NY sometime prior to August 1827, when he married Betsy Parker. No records have been found of his immigration, so it is unknown if he was with parents or siblings. He and his American born family must have started moving westward sometime between Sep 1830 when Vincent, their oldest known child was born in NY state, and Jul 1834 when William Wallace was born in PA. Their son Charles was born in 1832, place unknown. Then by Feb 1836 they had moved on to OH where their daughter Betsy Ann was born. At this point, nothing can be found as to what occupation Robert had, but it is assumed that he was in farming, developing his home and farm as he moved westward and leaving very few if any, traceable tracks. Then on 20 Aug 1839 just 2 months before his fifth child, Mary Jane, was born, Robert died. The cause of his untimely death and the location is unknown, as was the location of the birth of Mary Jane. These events probably took place in OH or in IN where Betsy married David Kirkpatrick on 14 Mar 1840 in Kosciusko Co. |

In many cases, I have more information on the descendants, but
have not been able to find anything more on Robert and Betsy or their ancestors.
As always, this is a work in progress, let's share and compare.
