Welcome to the James Alva Hendricks Family Blog

Throughout my life I have always been proud to be a Hendricks and to know so many of you. I have tried to live up to those who have gone before us, sacrificing so much so we could live where we live and have the things we have. We are all blessed with such a rich family history, preceded by so many people. This blog is a place where we can collect and share favorite family pictures, stories and memories of who we are. Please feel free to visit as often as possible and if there are things you want to add or correct, please contact any of the contributors listed on the right side panel. Desmond Tutu once said, "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. Let us take the time and remember ours together. Mike

Pioneer women Hendricks line



Here are the last of the pioneer women heritage that I was able to find on the Hendricks side.  The first is Martha Kelley Wilson.  She was the mother of Nick Wilson who wrote "The White Indian Boy."  She was also the grandmother of Mary Ellen Kay and was a major care giver to her as Mary's mother died when she was a young age.   



 Here is a photo we have of Margaret Mustard Sant.  Her biography follows it goes also onto the next page.  The second page also has her mother in law Mary Shaw Sant.


The last person I have is Sarah Chatterly Kay.  She was Mary Ellen Kay's grandmother on her father's side.
