[1] The spelling of Selina/Salina is debatable. Eleanor Ann Selina Shelby, her granddaughter Margaret Selina McGahey, and her niece Martha Selina Shelby are all found with varying spellings. Both spellings were nearly equally common, with Salina ranking #225, Selina ranking #296, and the variation Celina ranking #461 in frequency on the 1850 census. In the NC census only, Selina yields 144 results and Salina has 175 results. There are no 1850 census listings for any variation ending in "–lena," so we can comfortably rule that out. For Eleanor, I’ve seen two records that include her middle name, and both spell it “Salina,” but neither are dependable (1870 Census and Bethesda Church Roll 1924). The “Selina” spelling seems to be most popular with family researchers, and Vivian used that spelling in this book, so I have chosen to go with that spelling for consistency. But there are no "official" records (that I’ve seen) to confirm either spelling.

[2] The 1900 Census lists her as Rosa Lee McGahey, living with her grandparents (Mary Amanda and Uriah) and her mother, Margaret Selina McGahey. Margaret Selina died in 1902, and Rosa Lee was reared by her grandparents. On the 1910 census, she is recorded as Rosa Lee Dobbins, the daughter of Mary Amanda and Uriah.

[3] Official birth certificate amendment from 1967 says “Ever,” but Findagrave listing says “Eva.” I assume the two spellings were pronounced similarly. She went by “Maurine,” which is printed on her gravestone.

[4] Charlotte Rose McGahey (1892–1984) is listed on some church records as “Rosa McGahey,” making her easy to confuse with Rosa Lee McGahey/Dobbins (1891–1980). Rosa Lee, however, only lived in Oklahoma, never Texas.

[5] Tommie was originally named Evie Mae, but she later changed her name to Tommie. Source: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/ROBINSON/1997-10/0877364545 .

[6] Rufus Hall Fleming was the son of Lovie D. Perkins (bottom of VIII), who was the sister of Lillie Eva Perkins Henderson (bottom of VIII and IV-B).

[7] This book had her name consistently spelled “Teressa,” but most Ancestry.com records have “Teresa.” I didn’t officially confirm either spelling. I've noticed gravestones of other women in Perry County, AL, with the spelling "Teressa," so that might be correct.

[8] Margaret was the daughter of John Elam Henderson, William Lee's brother.

[9] The 1920 census lists her name as "Aluxia," but all other records have her name as either “Luxie,” or varying spellings of "Leatus." Some family stories spell her middle name as "Lestus," but that was incorrect, a misinterpretaton of old handwriting.

[10] William T. McGahey was the brother of John F. McGahey (Mary Amanda's first husband), making their McGahey kids double first cousins.

[11] Husbands Robert Perry Wilson, Lee Marion Wilson, and Willis W. Wilson were brothers, making their children double first cousins.

[12] Lena’s husband Henry is the son of Belle’s sister, Harriet Caroline “Hattie” Henderson Crews, making the couple 1st cousins, 1x removed. You will also find them listed, with their children, under Section V—E of this outline.

[13] John Lee was named for his great-grandfather John Lee Henderson I (1779-1842), father of William Lee Henderson.

[14] Eva was pronounced like “ever” without the R.

[15] John Lee and Lillie Eva were not related but were stepcousins.

John Lee - Joseph Asmon - William Lee.

Lillie Eva - stepfather William Daniel - stepgrand William Lee (see VIII - Dora’s children from first marriage.)

[16] Etta’s full name is listed on daughter Ina’s death certificate as “Henrietta Henderson,” but that is the only place I’ve seen that variation.

[17] Lyon or Lyons. This family was not consistent in their spelling. Tom is usually found as “Lyon,” while his wife Libbie seemed to favor “Lyons.” Their children used the “Lyon” spelling. Tom’s sister Belle used “Lyons.” Gravestones all read “Lyon,” but some of their death certificates say “Lyons.”

[18] Siblings Libbie and Jay Taft married siblings Tom and Lilly Belle Lyon, making their children double first cousins.

[19] Jesse Edwin Crews is the first cousin of Sallie's husband Henry Calvin Crews.

[20] Siblings Kirk Edwin Crews and Mary Emma Crews married siblings Annie Judson Owens and James Parris Owens, making their children double first cousins.

[21] Henry Robert Crews’s wife, Lena Belle Wilson, is the granddaughter of Hattie’s sister Belle, making the couple 1st cousins, 1x removed. You will also find them listed under Section III—A—4 of this outline.

[22] Henry Calvin Crews is the 1st cousin of Harriet’s husband, Jesse Edwin Crews.

[23] Mollie’s previous husband (surname Chilcoat) lived only 2 months after marriage.

[24] Albert Sidney Henderson and Alta Mae Taft were not related, but Alta’s half-siblings were Sidney’s first cousins. See bottom of IV: The Taft-Henderson Family.

[25] There is some discrepancy with Elizabeth Rebecca Isadora's full name. She was called "Dora" in her adult years, but here is how she is listed on census records: In 1860—Ann, 10 mos. In 1870—Sallie, 10. In 1880—Dovie, 20 (her husband's 15-year-old sister Doris Anna Perkins lived next door and was also called Dovie). In all later censuses, she is Dora. Her gravestone says "Dora E. Henderson." Some family members list her name as "Rebecca Isadora Elizabeth," but since her marriage record says "E. R. I. Mitchell," we have opted to use "Elizabeth Rebecca Isadora" as her official name.

[26] Vivian does not descend from William Daniel, but she does descend from Dora. Dora’s daughter Lillie Eva Perkins married John Lee Henderson, who was not related but a stepcousin. Lee and Eva are Vivian’s maternal grandparents.

[27] William Basil Perkins's middle name is found with varying spellings on records and among his own family members. This book even had inconsistent spellings, including Basel and Bazel. However, I learned "Basil" was the first name of both his grandfather (Basil Andrew Woolley, 1777–1848) and his mother's brother (Basil Monroe Woolley, 1834–1917). Both men are well-documented with the spelling "Basil," including the name on their gravestones, but misspellings were prevalent. Judging by those misspellings, it was likely pronounced like "Bazzle" or "Bassle." Additional confusion stems from the fact that his daughter Lovie D. Perkins Fleming named her son Bazle Perkins Fleming (1906–1969), a name printed on both his birth certificate and gravestone.

[28] Dora’s daughter Lillie Eva married stepcousin John Lee Henderson. See IV - B.

[29] She is often listed as “Lovie D,” but it was her daughter Lovie Dee McDowell who had the “Dee” middle name. On a legal document, her daughter Nora entered her name as Lovie Dora Perkins. She married Fleming, then McDowell, and had children with both.

Henderson Family Tree Outline

By Kerin


This is not a full family tree. It started as a guide to the people mentioned and pictured in Henderson Connections, but I’ve continued to add to it.


When the book was written in the 1990s, only some branches of the family had been found, and only some of those families submitted information for the book. That’s why some families are more “filled in” than others. I took most of the information straight from Henderson Connections, but I filled in some things from obituaries and emails from family members. If I noticed someone went by a middle name or nickname, I underlined it. I added most of the birth and death dates myself, but I found them via Ancestry.com, so not all have been verified.


For currently living people (and those I wasn’t sure about): I identified you without last names or spouse names, for privacy. (I have a master copy with full names/dates if you are a family member who wants it.) Thank you so much to those who have sent me updates to this outline. I would love to add more—email me with information and corrections!
