This profile originally had a mix of sources for two different William Hendersons -- this one, the son of Charles Henderson and Polly Roberts, and [Henderson-643 William Fenner Henderson-643], son of Thomas Henderson and Anne Fenner. In particular, the Navarro County, Texas census records appear to be for William Fenner rather than this William.
