1841. George C. HENDRICKS mentions, in an oral account dictated

in 1900, that Hillary had a brother who remained in SC named

Pakton HENDRICKS which the family lost track of. Hillary also

apparently had a son named Hillary HENDRICKS, Jr. and several

daughters, including one named Elizabeth. The girls appear to have

married near Rome, GA. According to George C. HENDRICKS in

1900, both Jeremiah and Nimrod moved to the town of Rome,GA

(presently Floyd Co.) near the Coosa river and later sold their land to

move to AL near the town of Courtland on the Muscle Shoals region

of the Tennessee river. Nimrod eventually moved south to

Tuscaloosa, Co. AL.

Rootsweb Archiver:

There are a number of Hendricks RW Papers online. The papers for Mary

Hendricks (MD and NC) state that her husband Albert Hendricks, a native of

NJ, was in Rowan County at the time of his enlistment.

Also, there is a "Hillary" Hendricks listed as recieving a pension for

service in the RW. This Hendricks was born in Edgecombe County, and was a

resident of Chatham County when he enlisted. In 1784 he moved to Elbert

County, GA as there were a lot of Torries still living in Chatham County. He

then moved in 1825 to Lawrence County, Alabama. In 1840 he moved to

Yalobusha County, Mississippi to be near his son Jeremiah Hendricks.
