WEATHERS
The
HENDRICKS family settled in Bulloch County,
Georgia, west of Statesboro. My last confirmed ancestor on that
line is
Robert(or possibly
W.M.)
HENDRICKS who married
Nancy PARISH.
Nancy and
Robert owned a fair
amount of land in the county, and had both been born in the county.
Their daughter,
Mary Estelle, is my great-grandmother.
She was born in Bulloch County around 1875. This family left Ga. in
1888-89 for Arkansas, along with a number of other
Hendricks'.
At least three of
Estelle's brothers were
Doctors:
Benjamin E. and
John S.
(who practiced in Sevier County, AK) and
Willie H.,
who was a doctor in Tifton, Georgia. From my research I have become
aware of a large settlement of possibly-related
Hendricks'
in Bulloch County. At present I am trying to find the ancestors of
Nancy Parish (b.1840) and
Robert Hendricks (b.1839).
Possibilities for the Hendricks line include:
John Hendricks
(1804-1890) and
Elizabeth Hendricks b.1803
(both GA);
Wiley Hendricks(b.1799 Bulloch Co.)
and
Cynthia Weathers(b. 1805 Burke County, Ga.)
Weathers{ Wiley's father is listed as
Daniel
Hendricks who was born in North Carolina, and married there,
but died in Bulloch county where he had lived for many years. He
was of Welsh descent.)
