Theodore Roosevelt Henderson was the
oldest son of James Price and and Hattie Fuller Henderson. He was my father.
Theodore was born on January 11, 1916 in Cherokee County Alabama north of
Gaylesville. I obtained a copy of his birth certificate from the state of
Alabama. Click here
to see the copy of his birth certificate.
In 1920 when Theodore was 4, I found them living in Cherokee County.

Based on the information on the grave marker of my Uncle Henry
Henderson, I believe that James Price moved with his family including
Theodore to Florida
between 22 Dec 1924 and 15 December 1926. I found the family in the 1930
Census living in Florida in Marion County District 21 near the community of
Linadale. Linadale was situated very closely to the intersection of Highway
42 and 450. Marion County begins just a few hundred yards west of Altoona
and I remembered my dad telling me that the family had lived north of
Highway 42. I will discuss some of that information later.

County, Florida. Between 1930 and 1934 James Price moved his
family to Hillsborough County Florida. Theodore remained in Lake
County working odd jobs in the Altoona Florida area. |
