Mary Addison Henderson




Mary is the sister of Dess's dad, George H. I found references to an autobiography or biography. Still searching for it. It may have been privately published or not published.

Mary's children were:
1.  Miller
2.  Emma
3.  Esther

From Find-A-Grave:
Daughter of George W. and Esther (Miller) Addison, natives respectively of Huntington, Vt., and Essex Co., N. Y., was born in Greenfield Township March 25, 1828, to which her grandfather Addison had come in 1812, and her grandfather Miller in 1820. 

...married, Sept. 18, 1845, to Andrew Henderson, of this township. They settled on the homestead, where Mrs. Henderson is now living, and were the parents of 12 children, 5 surviving -- Miller, Eugene A., Mrs. Ella Bemis, Samuel and Lottie. Mr. Henderson departed this life Feb. 6, 1878. He was a kind husband and father, and died lamented by all who knew him.

George A. Davis, a son of her deceased daughter Esther, the wife of Henry G. Davis, of Harborcreek Township, is residing with Mrs. Henderson. She is a lady of estimable character, a pious member of the M. E. Church and is respected by the community.
