Martin Henwood of England just contacted me through reading this blog and using ancestry.com and finds we have a connection. His family goes back a long way in Hampshire. He thinks we connect with William and Ann Henwood in 1650. I think we might even be closer and connect with Henry and Sarah Henwood. Henry was born in Basingstoke in 1827 and died in 1914 in Hartley Wintney, /Basingstoke, Hampshire, England.

Meaning of "Henwood"
English: habitational name from
any of various places so named, as for example Henwood in Cornwall, in
Linkinhorne parish, which is named from Old English henn ‘hen’, ‘wild bird’ +
wudu ‘wood’, or Hen Wood in Wootton, Oxfordshire (formerly in Berkshire), which
is named from Old English hīwan ‘religious community’ (genitive plural hīgna) +
wudu. So far this line that I am following is not from Cornwall but from Hampshire, England. I would have to compare the dna from a Cornwall native to our dna to see if there's a match. If so, the the Hampshire Henwoods could have stemmed from Cornwall.

Henwoods in Hampshire, England 1538
1838 Hampshire, England, Home of This Henwood Line
Nadene Goldfoot
John Henwood was born 1538 in Medstead, Hampshire, England. His family descendants seemed to stay pretty close to this area. I have found in 1713 another John was born in Shalden Village. His son John was born back in Medstead in 1739.
The next John b: 1772 was in Wield, Hamshpire.. The chain is broken with the next child, Henry b 1803 in Basingstoke. So was his son, Henry b: 1827 in Hantz, Basingstoke.
Finally we get to Charles Ernest Henwood b: 1897 in Winchfield, Hartley Wintney Row, Hampshire. His father, also Charles, b: 1854 had broken the Hampshire tradition of being born in Farnham, Surrey, England. .
It was Charles Ernest who emigrated from England and went to Australia and New Zealand, perhaps because he signed up for the army at age 16. He finally settled as an immigrant in Washington, USA and died in California.

The Hamlet of Henwood
Nadene Goldfoot
Henwood, a hamlet, is in a rural area and is likened to a settlement. It is an unincorporqted community. An urban hamlet would probably be a little larger. Henwood is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) SW of Oxford, England. It is in Wooton civil parish in the Vale of White Horse District.
Oxford is in central southern England and is 50 miles (80km) NW of London. It is the home of the U. Of Oxford. In America Henwood would be considered something like a bedroom community of Oxford.
HIstorically, Henwood started out as a single farm which is still standing and listed as a Grade II building in the parish of Cummor, until Wooton was created as a separate parish in the 19th century. Since I have traced Henwoods as far back as John Henood born in 1538, the family seemed to come before this farm.that developed into a whole community. Later, Henwood was said to be in Berkshire until the 1974 boundary changes transferred it to Oxfordshire.

Finally Finding a Henwood Match
Finding a Henwood match in dna is quite exciting to me. We have the Tip report which tells a % of chances of having a common ancestor and at how far back. I figure one generation is 25 years; so 12 generations would be 300 years or the year 1712 to John Henwood b: 1713 in Shalden Village, Hampshire, England.
At 24 generations back or 600 years, we had a 91.41% chance to share a common ancestor with him. That would take you back to the year 1412, before Columbus sailed!
I've taken the Henwood genealogy back as far as John Henwood b: 1538 in Medstead, Hampshire, England. I had help with an English genealogist, Valerie Henwood, who has done a lot of research as well as me having used ancestry.com. English people have been keeping great records and they still have them around. I believe I've mentioned her somewhere on my blog.
