• 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). 11/12/98, Susan Henderson #10303 30y, b. NJ, phitusis pulm [phthisis pulmonalis = tuberculosis] 22nd ward, hospital for consumptives, buried St. Mary's Free Hospital For Poor Consumptives 1895 capac=55 Has received a State appropriation A search of Public Ledger in Philadelphia found no information. ################################################################# 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
