Notes
a. Note:   Residence:He moved to Butts County Georgia very early in its history. He stopped on the east bank of the Ocmulgee River, set up a forge, and forged a chain of iron bars 12-18 feet long that was used to pull a flat across the river. This became known as Key's Ferry and was in use until 1895. He built a house on the hilltop west of the river and became a planter and owned many slaves.
  John Hendrick, Jr. built his house on the west side of the river, on a hill on the north side of the road near Key's ferry. "His land was bottom land, oak and hickory, and some pine land. He was a planter." Mrs. M. (?). M?ulmar (illegible), who was Mary Cornwell, and whose father owned the land on the opposite the Hendrick land on the east side of the river, tells of "seeing the Hendrick negroes plowing in the bottoms" when she was a girl. She remembers the Hendrick brothers, John and Gustavus, coming to her father's house: " A tall, slender man and a shorter, stouter man, dressed in black broadcloth suites and wearing high black beaver hats. John Hendrick, Jr. was the taller of the brothers."
  Occupation: He served in the Georgia Legislature 1826-1827 and the statye Senate in 1829. He was justice of the Inferior Court of Butts Co. for many years.
  Immigration: This family moved to Randolph County, GA and then to Caddo Parish, Louisiana after 1850
