This is a real mystery.I can help with Henderson's ancestry.However, the only clue I have found is on the pension application which lists "H. L. Wheeler, Gdn."Could the "Gdn" mean guardian?There was a Hugh L. Wheeler, 32 merchant in the 1870 census.I can only assume this is the same person.
It would appear that Henderson's brother Richard possibly was married to Hester's sister and they also lived in the area.
