James Asbury Hendricks, son of Larkin and Nancy M. Gilbreath (Englishwoman) Hendricks, was born in South Carolina. About 1850 Larkin and Nancy, with their nine children, moved to Collin County settling four miles east of present Anna. James Asbury, 10 years old at the time of the move, drove one of the covered wagons all the way to Texas. They brought with them a few slaves and money to buy up the rich farm land. In Sept. 1861, James enlisted in Co. D 2nd Cav at Dallas, Texas, at age 21. After the war he went back to school for a while and at age 30 married Sissy Derrick who was then 16 years of age. The couple bought 100 acres of land at $5 per acre and settled on the land. Just before their 11th child was born, his brother left eight orphaned children at his death, and they too came to live, making 18 children in the home. In the next year the family built a large two-story home to house the big family. Name: James A.
