SAMUEL EMMET HENSON was born about 1851 in City Point, Prince Georges County, VA.
He is listed on the 1860 Census as being 9 years old and living with his parents JOHN B. HENSON and LUCY ANN GRAVES HENSON.
The next record I have for SAMUEL is his marriage certificate. He married MATILDA BROWN (see BROWN page) 3/19/1881 in Union, NJ. The marriage certificate states that SAMUEL is 29 years old and living in Brooklyn NY. His occupation is listed as Long Shoreman.
SAMUEL EMMET died 3/01/1933 in Jersey City, NJ.
