Hello Howard,
You and I have a 21cM DNA match, indicating that we have a common ancestor. Ancestry ThruLines suggests that our nearest common ancestors are Joseph Greer & Priscilla Stokes, our third great grandparents. I have researched the generations, and I believe that the suggestion is correct.
Congratulations on completing an extensive family tree. However, there is an error in it. Your great grandfather, Daniel Fletcher Henderson, married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth P. Greer, daughter of Samuel Greer, born 1 May 1794, died 1 November 1863, and Mary Ann Bath 1799-1863. Samuel Greer’s parents were our common ancestors. Elizabeth P. Greer was born in Alabama about 1836 and died about 1871. The date of death for Elizabeth P. Greer (1871) is presumed because her youngest daughter was born about 1871, and her husband, Daniel, re-married in 1872.
Daniel Fletcher Henderson’s second wife was named Elizabeth Taylor. Maybe her parents were Wiley Taylor & Annie, who you have in your tree, but you do not descend from the Taylors.
