| The 1860 Census lists the Hendersons living in the Campbletton district of Campbell County. Campbellton is now part of Fulton County on the southwest side of Atlanta outside the perimeter (out past the airport). It is located on the south side of the Chatahootchie River which marks the boundary with Douglas County (the other half of what used to Campbell County). It is not clear to me if the Henderson's and/or Bryant's lived in the part of Campbell County that is now Douglas County or Fulton County. |
