New DNA Match links James (Isaac) Henderson line to Chesapeake/Delmarva Hendersons
A 12-marker match between two descendants of James (Isaac) Henderson and a descendant of Barnabas Henderson has ended years of speculation about a link between the two families.
The Barnabas Henderson line of Onslow County, NC can trace their roots back to the 17th century James Henderson who settled in Accomack/Northampton County, VA and Somerset County, MD. Eastern shore records on James Henderson are relatively plentiful (in consideration of the era) and further examination of available documents and research will be required in order to determine whether James (Isaac) Henderson was a descendant of the Chesapeake group, or a cousin with a common ancestor in the UK.
