New DNA Match links James (Isaac) Henderson line to Chesapeake
Hendersons
A 12-marker match between two descendants of James (Isaac) Henderson
and a descendant of Barnabas Henderson has ended years of speculation
about a link between the two families.
The Barnabas Henderson line of Onslow County,
NC can trace their roots back to the 17th century James Henderson
who settled in Accomack/Northampton County, VA and Somerset County,
MD. Eastern shore records on James Henderson are relatively plentiful
(in consideration of the era) and further examination of available
documents and research will be required in order to determine
whether James (Isaac) Henderson was a descendant of the Chesapeake
group, or a cousin with a common ancestor in Scotland (or possibly
England or Ireland).
Check back for updates to be added soon.
