Gravestone says: Pheobe / wife of / Jesse Henson / Feb ?? 182? / Sep 19 1905

RESEARCH NOTES:
- last name listed as Frayley, Frailey, Fraley, Friley ...;
first name spellings vary: Phoebe, Phebe, Pheba, Pheby
- may have been born in Arkansas or Kentucky - probably KY
- may have been buried Sunset Cem, Sunset, Washington, Arkansas - listed as birth location (!) in IGI (individual)

- Sources vary as to number of children: IGI lists 15 children including 3 not listed in census:
Charles E Henson, born 22 Feb 1858, AR
Pheba Henson, born 1868, AR
Lewis Henson, born 19 Feb 1864, AR
and doesn’t list 1 that was in the census:
Henry Henson, abt 1865 AR
- can’t find in 1880 census

- The Claesen Family Tree by nicoleclaesen on ancestry claims that Phoebe is the daughter of Reuben Fraley (1783-1870) and Mary Polly Flannery (1792-1840) and the granddaughter of Frederick Fraley (1725-1792) and Chloe D Boone (1745-1823) - although another tree claims that Boone is a mistake. I’m also concerned about the large age gap between Reuben and Frederick. A different tree lists other children for Reuben and Mary Polly, but not Phoebe.
They had the following children:

William HENSON (1849-1881)

RESEARCH NOTES:
- 12 children listed, but if she died in 1858, she could not have had the last 5 children listed.
- can’t find Singleton on modern day map
- there several Miller Chapel cemeteries in Arkansas (and elsewhere) according to google. One is in Winslow and lists other Hensons - http://arkansasgravestones.org/cemetery.php?cemID=3660. Another is in Ashley (aka Dry Bayou Cemetery; another in Wilmot. Findagrave only lists the county (Washington) and some general photos for this Polly Henson. Is this the same as the Winslow cemetery?
- another researcher says she died in 21 Jan 1869? The same month and day as her marriage - is this an error? Name listed as Pollyann Mary Henson
On 21 Jan 1842 when Mary Ann “Polly” was 16, she married Wilkerson OSBURN in Sandy Hook, Morgan, Kentucky, USA. Born on 15 Oct 1818 in Virginia, USA. Wilkerson died in Shaberg, Crawford, Arkansas, USA, on 9 Oct 1899; he was 80. Buried in 1899 in Schaberg Cemetery, Crawford Co, Arkansas, USA.
