My Hender Cousins
compiled and annotated by Don R. Hender
Perhaps the simplest way
to brake this down is to appoach my Hender cousins by generations and
devote a linked page per each generation of Aunt and Uncle cousin yielding
families. Thus I will pass through the various known related Hender families
beginning with my 7th Great Grandfather's family of Thomas Hender
and Agnes/Ann Evan(s) and so on down to perhaps my grandfather's family of
Albert Hender and Laura Dibble Hender.
The family of my 7th Great Uncle Edward Hender who married Elizabeth
Wadge, 2 June 1724, is the source of a great many related cousin families.
Now one caution must be given in respect to such 'cousin' derived ancestry.
That is in attempting to 'fit' all things into one's genealogy many do make
presumptions which will conflict with other's presumptons. One such is here
in that the cousin family which one source would tie to the Family of Thomas
and Elizabeth Northy though their daughter Elizabeth Hender who married
John Venning is also attributed to a daughter of John Hender and Grace
Luskey as will be seen also in the next family groupings of cousin derived
from the John Hender and Grace Luskey family.
Though John Hender died early, the Luskey family willed much to this
Hender family. Thomas Hender my ancestor would fall heir to much of the
Hender Altarnun lands and William Hender his brother would be the ancestor
to the William Hender and William Bury Hender of Callington, surgeons and
doctors-MD.
The Altarnun lands of Hender fell to Thomas Hender who married Jenny Peter,
but sums of money were left to the other family members and my ancestor
apparently gained himself an aprenticeship and became a clock and watch
maker.
There can now be identified seven children of William Hender and Elizabeth
Rowe. They are Elizabeth Rowe Hender who died at age 4, Amelia Hender, Louisa
Hender, a William Hender who died at age 1, my ancestor Thomas Rowe Hender,
William Worth Hender and finally a John Hender who died at age 2. Some
attempt to add a John Hender who lived and migrated to Australia but that John
Hender is of St Cleer.
Only the four living sons and daughter are mentioned in William Hender's
will.
The children of Thomas Rowe Hender and Mary Trout are Philip Trout Hender
named after Mary's father, William Hender named after Thomas' father, Harry
Hender who died at age 2, and Ellen Hender. Both William Hender and Ellen
Hender married Selina Toms and James Toms-relationship of the Toms is not
yet found. Both had children and thus there of cousins from Thomas Rowe Hender
and Mariana Trout.
The Collins family and their descendants from the children of Grace (Chipman
Hender) Collins are the souce of any such cousins to be found of this family
as Albert Hender was the only child of Philip Trout Hender and Grace Ghipman.
This is my grandparents family. They had to living children, my father and
my aunt May. This link will give an insight to this family without hopely
reveling too much for this day and age. I hope it does not offend anyone.
