Wm. Hendrix, age 65, b. Findland
Millie ", age 43, b. NC
Wm. H. Cotton, age 14, b. TN (1846)
Melvina Cotton, age 11, b. TN (1849)
(I believe the Wm. H. Cotton, age 14, is actually Richard H. Cotton, brother of Melvina/Malvina Cotton. Interestingly, William Hendrx, age 65, wife is named Millie, age 43, b. NC. Age is off but birth place is same for Milly, mother of Richard H. and Melvina Cotton. Wm. is not found in the 1850 census of Henderson Co., TN. However, he and Millie/Milley are still residing in 1870 in Henderson Co., TN)
