Though James's parents are unidentified he may be the brother of Gibson Clark Hendricks (1820-aft.1880), also originally from Georgia and living only a few households away from James in 1850 Yalobusha County, Mississippi.
Several genealogies assume that the present James Hendricks/Hendrix in the James Hendricks who died 2 July 1864 and is buried at Andersonville, Georgia. However that James Hendricks was a union soldier from Indiana. [4]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with James by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with James:
Hendrix-1141 and Hendricks-3915 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, birth date, relationships. The surname spelling varies. I am unaware of any records suggesting that James Jefferson Hendricks ever spelled his name Hendrix, though his children did. Whether this is simply a lack of records, a lack of standardized spelling or if Hendrix was a later spelling of the name is unknown.
