Leander Henderson1

Marriage23 Aug 1885 Leander Henderson married Julia Hale, daughter of George Hale and Margaret Lavinia Buchanan, on 23 Aug 1885 in Wayne County, Illinois.1 
Widowed Leander was widowed when Julia died in the early 1890s, probably after the birth of her sixth child in 1894. 
Cens-19001900  By 1900 he had remarried. The census taken that year enumerated him with a wife Mary to whom he had been married for five years. Three of Leander's children with Julia: Edgar, Blanche and Guty (?) were living with them as were two Tibbs children from Mary's first marriage and two young children born to Leander and Mary.2 
  The twins born to Julia and Leander were not listed in the household, suggesting either they did not survive or they were living elsewhere.

  3. [S16] The existance of this child is based on the fact that the twin boys, born in 1889 to Julia and Leander were indicated as her 3rd and 4th children. This child must have died young as he is not living with his father in 1900.
