Hello, fellow researchers. I am researching the HENSON line
of my family tree. My HENSONS are in Newton and Johnson Counties
in northern Arkansas. Here are some of their names:

James* and Sally R.** are my ancestors. You will note that John
L. Henson is not alive at the time of the 1870 AR Census; as you
will see by clicking on the link to my 2nd Henson page, on the
1880 AR Census, when asked her marital status, Jane is listed as
a widow.
