General Notes: Legacy file notes concerning Myrtle Mae <strong>Henson</strong>:<br />
Mother's mother died giving birth as well as Grandma Singletary's first child "Mildred" in Achille, OK. Grandpa<br />
Singletary went down on the Red River in OK and talked to her Indian parent who was living in a TP and he let<br />
Grandpa have her. They christened her Myrtle Mae Singletary. Mother didn't know she wasn't a Singletary until<br />
she and dad eloped to get married in Denison, TX, and they had to have permission. Mother mentioned once that<br />
the night they were supposed to leave, dad, who had to cross a sugar cane field to Grandpa's house, reached<br />
through the bedroom window and shook a stalk <strong>of</strong> sugar cane in her face to wake her up.<br />
Though Mom took Lucille (my sister who was then about five years old) to visit her "Tate" kinfolk, Lucille was<br />
later told by mother that she didn't care for them much and that was the end <strong>of</strong> the story.<br />
From a story Luther SINGLETARY (Mom's foster brother) told me, Grandma stated that Grandpa had gone to<br />
the grocery store, heard some gossip that an Indian man had a baby he didn't want since his wife had died. Grandpa<br />
went home talked to Grandma and they loaded up the wagon and went down on Red River in Oklahoma to get the<br />
child since their baby Mildred was stillborn. Grandma also stated that the diaper had to be soaked <strong>of</strong>f this baby<br />

since it appeared that it had never been changed since the day it was put on.<br />
Another story recently acquired while doing family research which appears to have some credence:<br />
The story is that <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong> <strong>Henson</strong> (b. 1861) died after eating a poisoned pie at home in Colbert Oklahoma<br />
and is buried there somewhere. His grandson, Connie <strong>Henson</strong> (1933), from Bokchito, Oklahoma, said that he had<br />
tried locating the cemetery where buried but could not find it. He also states emphatically that <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong><br />
<strong>Henson</strong> was 1/4 Cherokee Indian.<br />
It is thought perhaps that <strong>John</strong> married or lived with the widow, Josephine "Joscie" (Hunt) Tate, near Colbert,<br />
OK, and that they may have had a child. It is believed that <strong>John</strong> died about 1906/7 and if there was a daughter,<br />
this child could be the child adopted by Hollan and Luetta Singletary who christened her Myrtle Mae <strong>Henson</strong>, my<br />
mother, born 31 Oct 1906. How or why this situation occurred, if it did, is anybody's guess. However, Joscie Tate<br />
did have five or more other children to raise as a single parent, since her previous husband, Tom Tate, died about<br />
1900 in Tyler, Smith, Texas.<br />
Old letters uncovered in my parent's estate reflect that Carl W. <strong>Henson</strong> (1920), the son <strong>of</strong> Robert <strong>Henson</strong> (1899)<br />
the son <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong> <strong>Henson</strong>, corresponded with mother as early as 16 Oct 1972 and addresses her as "Aunt<br />
Mae". Discussing the lineage with Charlie <strong>Henson</strong> (1938), also Robert's son and grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong>, he<br />
relates that it had been suggested he visit his half sister in Arkansas, but said that he never did.<br />
Connie <strong>Henson</strong> relates that when he got out <strong>of</strong> the service in 1955 that Robert, his father, suggested he visit Aunt<br />
Mae in Arkansas but that he never did also. He did state that he had been shown early school pictures <strong>of</strong> me which<br />
my mother had sent his, Mary Lodemi <strong>Henson</strong> (1899), wife <strong>of</strong> Robert.<br />
A school picture, 1949-1950, <strong>of</strong> Wadel Coleman <strong>Henson</strong> (1935), a brother <strong>of</strong> those already mentioned, was found<br />
in the family picture box so it appears that correspondence with Mary <strong>Henson</strong>, his mother, occurred. Coleman<br />
indicated he had visited mother once and tried again in 1989 while traveling with his oldest daughter, Martha Sue,<br />
but that he could not find her. There may be other <strong>Henson</strong> pictures without names which I and other family<br />
members do not recognize.<br />

Old letters uncovered in my parent's estate reflect that Carl W. <strong>Henson</strong> corresponded with Mae (my mother) as early as<br />
16 Oct 1972 and addresses her as "Aunt Mae". Discussing the lineage with Charlie <strong>Henson</strong>, grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong>, he<br />

said that he never did.<br />

School pictures, 1949-1950, <strong>of</strong> Wadel Coleman <strong>Henson</strong>, born in 1935 and grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong>, were found in the family<br />

HENSON, Etta Lou BURROUGHS - d. 1906 - wife <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong> <strong>Henson</strong> from Alabama<br />
* * *<br />
The story about <strong>John</strong> is that he died after eating a poisoned pie at home and is buried somewhere near Colbert,<br />
Oklahoma. His grandson, Connie <strong>Henson</strong>, said that he had tried locating the cemetery where buried, but could not find<br />
it.<br />
It is thought perhaps that <strong>John</strong> married or lived with the widow, Joscie (Hunt) Tate, near Colbert, OK, and that they may<br />
have had a child. It is believed that <strong>John</strong> died about 1906/7 and if there was a daughter, this child could be the child<br />
adopted by Hollan and Luetta Singletary who christened her Myrtle Mae, my mother, born 31 Oct 1906. How or why this<br />
situation occurred, if it did, is anybody's guess. However, Joscie did have five or more other children to raise as a single<br />
parent since her previous husband, Tom Tate, died about 1900 in Tyler, Smith, Texas.<br />

HENSON JOHN W 33 M W AL TX PARKER WEATHERFORD 1920: Line# 85-91<br />
Is it possible this is the correct child, <strong>John</strong>, born about 1887? The parent's birth states <strong>of</strong> AL for <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong>, and TX<br />
for Mary fit. Based on the date <strong>of</strong> birth <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong>'s children, Victoria and <strong>John</strong>, there is a five year gap. The border<br />
on this census, William R. <strong>Henson</strong>, is about two years younger than <strong>John</strong>, and if a relative, he could fit as another brother<br />
and child <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong> and Mary. However, I would point out that his parent's birth places <strong>of</strong> TX doesn't fit like <strong>John</strong>'s,<br />
but could be incorrectly stated.<br />

adopted by Hollan and Luetta Singletary who christened her Myrtle Mae, my mother, born 31 Oct 1906. How or why this<br />
situation occurred, if it did, is anybody's guess. However, Joscie did have five or more other children to raise as a single<br />
parent since her previous husband, Tom Tate, died about 1900 in Tyler, Smith, Texas.<br />
Old letters uncovered in my parent's estate reflect that Carl W. <strong>Henson</strong> corresponded with Mae (my mother) as early as<br />
16 Oct 1972 and addresses her as "Aunt Mae". Discussing the lineage with Charlie <strong>Henson</strong>, grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong>, he<br />
relates that he was also informed by Robert (RD) <strong>Henson</strong>, his father, that he should visit his half -sister in Arkansas, but<br />
said that he never did.<br />
Connie <strong>Henson</strong> relates that when he got out <strong>of</strong> the service in 1955 that his father, Robert, suggested he visit Aunt Mae in<br />

Arkansas but that he never did also. He did state that he had been shown early school pictures <strong>of</strong> me which my mother<br />
had sent him. He also states emphatically that his grand father, <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong>, was 1/4 Cherokee Indian.<br />
School pictures, 1949-1950, <strong>of</strong> Wadel Coleman <strong>Henson</strong>, born in 1935 and grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong>, were found in the family<br />
picture box, so it appears that correspondence with Mary <strong>Henson</strong>, his mother, occurred. Coleman indicated he had<br />
visited mother once and tried again in 1989 while traveling with his older daughter, Martha Sue, but that he could not find<br />
the address. There may be other pictures without names which I and other family members do not recognize. .... Hendley,<br />

16 Oct 1972 and addresses her as "Aunt Mae". Discussing the lineage with Charlie <strong>Henson</strong>, grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong>, he<br />
relates that he was also informed by Robert (RD) <strong>Henson</strong>, his father, that he should visit his half -sister in Arkansas, but<br />
said that he never did.<br />
Connie <strong>Henson</strong> relates that when he got out <strong>of</strong> the service in 1955 that his father, Robert, suggested he visit Aunt Mae in<br />
Arkansas but that he never did also. He did state that he had been shown early school pictures <strong>of</strong> me which my mother<br />
had sent him. He also states emphatically that his grand father, <strong>John</strong> <strong>Abraham</strong>, was 1/4 Cherokee Indian.<br />
School pictures, 1949-1950, <strong>of</strong> Wadel Coleman <strong>Henson</strong>, born in 1935 and grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong>, were found in the family<br />
picture box, so it appears that correspondence with Mary <strong>Henson</strong>, his mother, occurred. Coleman indicated he had<br />
visited mother once and tried again in 1989 while traveling with his older daughter, Martha Sue, but that he could not find<br />
the address. There may be other pictures without names which I and other family members do not recognize.<br />

Oklahoma. His grandson, Connie <strong>Henson</strong>, said that he had tried locating the cemetery where buried, but could not find it.<br />
It is thought perhaps that <strong>John</strong> married or lived with the widow, Joscie (Hunt) Tate, near Colbert, OK, and that they may<br />
have had a child. It is believed that <strong>John</strong> died about 1906/7 and if there was a daughter, this child could be the child<br />
adopted by Hollan and Luetta Singletary who christened her Myrtle Mae, my mother, born 31 Oct 1906. How or why this<br />
situation occurred, if it did, is anybody's guess. However, Joscie did have five or more other children to raise as a single<br />
parent since her previous husband, Tom Tate, died about 1900 in Tyler, Smith, Texas.<br />
Old letters uncovered in my parent's estate reflect that Carl W. <strong>Henson</strong> corresponded with Mae (my mother) as early as<br />
16 Oct 1972 and addresses her as "Aunt Mae". Discussing the lineage with Charlie <strong>Henson</strong>, grandson <strong>of</strong> <strong>John</strong>, he<br />
