Robert Harvey Henderson (1817 - 1891)
Family Record
Both types were interleaved together, making the records appear duplicated; but I believe it is just an older and newer record. For ease of reading on these pages, I have sized the type font according to how it appears on the page & in addition, colored the large type font yellow.
My notes or items I had difficulty reading are enclosed in curly brackets { }.
Handwritten notes on my copy are indicated by being enclosed in square brackets [ ] and colored light purple.
