I know Henderson-17222 is correct, as I have already checked his data for 2 of my cousins, including him in one of our HENDERSON Branch Ahnentafels for the young lady involved. I was a month of research in this as it involves a Branch from my Paternal Great Great Grandfather's First Daughter's Fourteenth child, wherein a HUFFMAN wed a HENDERSON.
