[Alvin Henderson had four wives - speculation is that Mary Ann Foster who married AJ Henderson in 1893 was Mary Ann Duck, sister of Lucinda Jane Duck. Evidence for/against speculation: 1) Alvin J. Henderson married Mary Ann Foster, December 21, 1893,in Tallapoosa CO GA. Two members of the Duck family swore affidavits in her behalf for her Civil War Widow's Pension. A recent post {Tallapoosa board} reports that the marriage record clearly says that she was a Miss Foster. 2) Oral history from the Duck family says that Mary Ann Duck married Alvin J. Henderson. 3) Regarding Nancy Hamby, Alvin's third wife, a R.A.Duck was one of the bondsmen.] Roland AH Duck lived to 1889, or it could be his son Roland A Whitfield Duck.

[Mary Anne Haralson Pursell was a widow with several Pursell children when she married Roland Duck.]

MARY ANNE HARALSON, who married Roland Duck, was a sister to William Alexander Harrelson (1811-1865), who was the father of James Manning Harrelson, father of Lou Ella Harrelson who was the wife of Marion Jefferson Scroggins. William Alexander Harrelson also had a daughter Mary Ann, but she married William McCree.

Dot Scroggins Saunders is the daughter of the son of Lou Ella Harrelson and Marion Jefferson Scroggins. Information about Mary Anne Haralson is on page 130 of Danny Harrelson's book, Haralson-Harrelson: Family History and Lineage. Mary Ann Harrelson McCree was sister to James Manning Harrelson, who is buried at Rose Hill Cemetery in Tallassee. [Dot Saunders]

Alvin J. Henderson and Lucinda Jane Duck had the following children (four of five that I know of):

1. Mary Ann Henderson - born 9-Aug-1849, married George T. Scroggins 21-Oct-1868, died 16-Jan-1913 Burial: Concord Cemetery (also listed as Mary Jane Henderson) Children listed on Scroggins page. According to the 1900 Tallapoosa CO AL Federal Census, enumerated 8 Jan 1900, George and Mary Jane Scroggins lived in the Eagle Creek area and had 12 children 7 living. The following children were enumerated with their parents, Mary E. b Aug 1882, Albert T. b Jun 1886 and Katie H. b Aug 1893. Sources: 1900 Census, Paula Girouard, Tap Roots Vol.24 #4, April 1987, Concord Cemetery. Daughter of Henry Lon Scroggins, grand-d of George T., cites Memorial Gardens, Jackson Gap, AL as the burial site for George T. and Mary J Scroggins. Speculation: perhaps the subjects were first buried at Concord and later moved to Memorial Gardens, Jackson Gap, leaving headstones in two locations.
2. Leroy Whitfield Henderson - born ?, married Amy Elizabeth PLESS, daughter of James Monroe PLESS and Lucinda Jane BOON, died ?
   1. Their daughter, Maggie HENDERSON, married William Rufus "Jug" CAMPBELL (1883-1975) and had a son named Joe Stanley Campbell (whose daughter is Paula Campbell Girouard.).
   2. Joe W. Campbell (1887-1943), son of John Cabell Brecknridge CAMPBELL and Mary L. "Mollie" KNIGHT and brother of WR "Jug" CAMPBELL (above), married Freda TEMPLES (1900-1985) after his brief marriage to Moda SCROGGINS , daughter of Henry Lon SCROGGINS and Martha Eugenia "Jennie" Grisham (Gresham?).

iii. Martha Henderson

iv. Roland (Rowland) Jackson (Jack) Henderson - Married Essie Ann Pless, the daughter of James Monroe Pless and Lucinda Boon. [Henderson brothers married the Pless sisters] James Monroe PLESS Served in Co.G, 34th AL

Alvin had four wives, outliving them all.(Emmett Henderson) * Conflicts with data from Paula Girouard stating that Alvin's widow applied for a pension for his service in Co. G, 34th AL Regiment.

Parks Langley, who started genealogy research in 1936 (so he told me) wrote about the immigration of Alexander Haralson and Richard Henderson families. He wrote that they were neighbors and close friends in Virginia. The two families left Virginia by wagon train. Nathaniel Henderson family moved to Greenville, NC. His brother John Henderson had moved to Orange Co, NC. In 1757, Nathaniel and wife sold 400 acres of land, moved to 96th District, SC. John Henderson had sons, Samuel, James and Richard. Samuel died in NC. James and Richard moved to 96th Dist, SC.

James and Richard Henderson moved to Wilkes County, Ga. Later Richard moved to Tallapoosa County. Mary Anne Malone Haralson died in 1867 at the age of 105 and is buried in the old Langley Family Cemetery in Tallapoosa County. My note: This is shortened just a little. The cemetery is about 10 miles from where I live. The families lived near this cemetery. [Barbara Taylor] <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Al/Tallapoosa?read=1084>

He married (1) LUCINDA JANE DUCK November 16, 1848 in Tallapoosa CO AL, daughter of ROLAND DUCK and MARY HARALSON. She was born 1828, and died Bef. 1862.
