Nope, not what you think. Researcher Robin Henderson sent me his notes on the Chesapeake Hendersons (that group descended from James Henderson of Somerset County MD and Accomack County VA) this year and the daunting sight of three plus linear inches of paperwork to log into my database has filled me with anxiety every time I see it laying on my desk.
I recently kicked off the Henderson G1 Family Discussion Group on Yahoo and now, overtaken by events as the discussion has taken off, I have waded into the stack with a vengeance. Occasionally I get off on a tangent, but I'm furiously pecking away at my keyboard, logging names and dates, and making entries into my Henderson timelines. I feel like I am cramming for some kind of horrifying comprehensive final exam on the Chesapeake Hendersons, and the price of failure is the missing of some critical clue on how our Chesapeake and Onslow families connect.
Last night I came across a post by Sue Gill on one of the forums. Sue descends from the Chesapeake group through Barnabas, who unhelpfully immigrated to Onslow in the mid 1700's, just to confuse the matter. I'm simultaneously entering her information and I see some similarities in naming patterns which may prove helpful.
