Inscription. Jesse Henderson was a land owner in Howard County as early as the 1840's before Jackson Morrow was born. In 1873, 16 years after Jesse's death, Jackson Morrow and Mary Henderson were married. At that time Mary was about 22 years of age. It is possible that Mary and Jesse Henderson were relatives, but where Jesse Henderson fits into the Morrow-Henderson family tree may remain a mystery.
