and library records, bible entries, journals or other original (and/or transcribed) documents relating primarily
to the Henderson family and secondarily to selected allied lines.

This is the record which gave rise to the belief that James "Isaac" Henderson married into the Rhodes family. The Henderson and Rhodes families were early settlers of Onslow County NC's New River area. Page 3 shows the "inserts" which mention Henderson grandchildren Obedience and Charity Jenkins (daus of Elizabeth "Betty" Henderson Jenkins), and Ezekiel Henderson (son of Argalus and Sary/Sucey[?] Henderson).
NOTE: There may be two copies of the Henry Rhodes Bible. The copy Laura Henderson saw and photographed in the 1990's was in the library of Greensboro College (NC) and did not contain the Henderson references. Onslow County NC historian Sloan Mason refers to a copy of the Bible in the Cullen Hatch Collection (probably the one which was photocopied by the NC archives), which does contain the Henderson references included in this PDF.
