Looking for HENDERSONS, Dr. James and Maria - Virginia - Toronto, ON
I am looking for anybody with information on or doing research on the Henderson family - Dr. James (1794-1847) and Maria (1794-1832). They were married in Dec 1812 in VA, and had 5 boys and 2 girls before Maria passed in 1832. In 1840 James along with sons Josiah & Beverly, and daughter Frances with her fiance James Taylor, travelled to a new home in Toronto, York, ON. James eventually opened a Barbershop at 42 Yonge St, but only managed a brief practice in Canada before his death in 1847. The family was listed as FPOC in Virginia, which became a firmly regulated state for any coloured citizens, which may have been the reason James and family (some) moved to Canada. I would be interested from hearing from anybody that is researching this family, or may know about the Hendersons. Also anyone with possible pics of the Hendersons, or of James' Barbershop at 42 Yonge St, in the early 1840's. Appreciate this opportunity…..Paul Barber - Canada

@PaulBarber Welcome to the group! You certainly have a lot of information to base your search on. If you haven't already, may I suggest the "search" button on the main page. The dropdown lists areas that you might look at. Wiki research may be helpful since you have locations for some of your family. Family trees might also have Hendersons or spouses' names. Solutions at the bottom of the page list many other options. Some offer free trials. If you haven't already be sure to search some of the Hendersons in the basic search. Happy searching.
