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 />
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 />
