Name Suffix: Senior

He was supposed to be a policeman, according to Dad. Dad heard this as a kid,
but there seems to be no other source to confirmthis. I may have been overly
restrictive in my search by focusing on the policeman stuff.

I'm not convinced that Susan McDevitt is the mother.
5/04 - no, I think this is OK.

1) there's no reason to think that the baptism that Anna had was wrong. For
the Catholic Church to have given her the wrong information meant there
John Henderson and Susan had a daugther Anna at the same time, Susan
died, and "another" Anna Henderson disappears from the records or becomes
an orphan after 1898

2) Anna talked with her brothers who would have been old enough to know her
parents and confirm or deny her parents' names. Anna refered to her being
Irish because of the McDevitt connection to other people.

Problem - 5/04. Now that I have John N Henderson marrying Susan McDevitt
in 1893, how could they have both been the parents of John Henderson
and James Henderson? Or were they really half brother (and John
lied about not being married before on his marriage license). Or maybe
they had lived together first? Or were married, but not in a Catholic Church?

Solution - 6/04. Got files from Children's Aid Society. Pages on John,
Nannie, and Susan (later Mary) show... Mother was in Home for Consumptives.
Father was "worthless". Grandmother "Susan McDevitt" came to check on them.
They tried to find the father, who was known to hang out at a saloon, but never
found him. Last attempt was 1904 before Nannie was adopted by Shaughnessy
family. But it puts to rest whether John N Henderson and Susan McDevitt
were the parents. It would seem thatJohn and Susan were to be the parents
of John as well, although clearly John was born before they were married.
(or they had been married before outside the Catholic Church).

Problem - what happened to James Henderson? I removed him for now. I
think there was confusion about "John and James" and it was thesons of
John Sr. - 7/14/05

Perhaps just other Irish people at the church.

(If that was really supposed to be PA/Md/PA, it could refer to father being

Still, I don't think Oliver is a likely fit.

Notes:

given that the marriage of Mary A. Henderson says mother was named "Mary",
I wonder if this is the right mother's name.

Note - Mary listed her mother as Mary and it wasn't until a letter came back
from a church in Philadelphia thatthe mother of "Anna" Henderson was
listed as Susan (McDevitt).

Still, I'm starting to rethink this. It would seem that Anna had talked with
her brothers on several occasions, who would have been old enough
to remember what her parent's name was. I doubt she would have kept
refering to John and Susan if she found out later these weren't her parents.
It would just seem that up until her 20's, she (and her sister) didn't
know anything about her parents with anycertainty (except perhaps
that her father was John Henderson).

A picture of Anna and Mary says "taken 3/30/08" and has
Susie Henderson
Nan "

But the picture shows Anna (Nanna) and Mary. Why did it say Susie?
A reference or mistaken reference to the mother? Part of the border
was cut off that might have had more text to the left of the names.

IGI has this record which seems to be a baptism date?
18 Nov 1867, Gloucester City, Camden, New Jersey Susanna McDevit to John McDevit and Susan
Cause of Death: of tuberculosis
