Shared note

From Tony Gagliani It is said that the first John Henderson who came from Dumfrieshire, Scotland (on the English border) married a Micmac Indian woman. Their only son, John married Nancy Johnson, the daughter of Matthew and Ann (Ash) Johnson. Matthew was from Northumberland, England and Ann was from Yorkshire, England. There is a story that she was actually Lady Ann Ash, and that Matthew was her coachman with whom she eloped.
