Henson, 19, b. Kanawha Co, res. Putnam Co; and Maria F. W. Blake, 19, b. Mason Co, res. Putnam Co. Married Dec 5 1860 "at Andrew Blake's 4 mi. below Red House, Putnam Co.", MR p. 33. (6) Putnam County Marriage Records, Winfield, WV, Identified as Joseph Andrew Jackson Henson, 67, b. & res. in Putnam Co; and Elizabeth Victoria Blake (also referred to as Lizzie V. Blake), 60, b. & res. in Putnam Co. Married Sep 16 1908 "at the bride's residence." (NOTE: Marital status of the parties not indicated. It is not clear whether Blake is the wife's maiden name or her name from a previous marriage.), MR p. 40. Event Notes Note (1) Middle initial given as A in death record, but as J in 1870 and 1930 Census, while he is identified in wife's death record as "J. A. J. Henson, Sr." The 1930 Census gives his age as 89 (b. ca 1841), but his death record a few months later states his age as 79 and specifies a birth date of Jan 6 1851. Since his daughter Susan is known to have been born in 1861, the earlier birth date given for him is considered more accurate.Name Index
