Henry m. Sarah A. Dillard b.1832 d. bef. 1853.has been wrongly connected to this family) Henry Henley was born in 1829, Blount County, Alabama to Richard Golden and Mary Polly Higgins Golden. The family moved to Panola County, Texas in 1841 when Henry was about 12 years old. His father, Richard purchased 824 acres from James Asher survey. They made their home there which was located
south of the later site of Mt. Zion Methodist Church. Richard continued to buy land and became a large farmer in Panola County and he specialized in "Cotton". 1
The Mexican-American War started in 1846 and lasted until 1848 in Mexico. A number of Panola County men went and fought in that war. Henry Henley and his brother Mace B. Golden were among the ones that served. At this time we know of two more being, James Barget Henson which lived in the Sugar Hill community. James Barget married Susan Elizabeth Walkingstick Talley which is
directly related to me. James joined the service 25 Jun 1846(same day as Mace) and was killed at Camargo, Guanajuato, Mexico on 15 Aug 1846.
James Barget Henson brother, Terrell Henson married, Minerva Wyatt 18 Jul, 1844 and they lived in the Sugar Hill community. This is where her pioneer Wyatt family made their home also. Terrell Henson and Richard Golden served as "County Commissioners" ogether and in May 1855 Terrell Henson help establish the school districts in Panola County. 2 Minerva's brother Washington
Wyatt also served in the war, this is the second one we have established that fought in the war.
It is established that Henry Henley Golden was married three times; Miss Campbell, Sarah Ann Dillard and Laura Elvira Tiller. 3 It appears he married Miss Campbell before he went to war and we were unable to identify her. Apparently he did not serve in the Mexican-American War during the entire war because we find him marrying Sarah Ann Dillard 06 Mar 1847 in Panola County.
Sarah Ann Dillard family was very hard to verify, but I came to the conclusion that she is probably the sister to George Washington Dillard that made his home in the Sugar Hill community and both being born in Smith County, Tennessee. Sarah Ann died before 1853 and left one child, Zora del Norte "Rio" Golden born 17 Dec 1851 in Panola County.
On 26 Apr 1853 Henry H. was married to Laura Elvira Tiller the daughter of William Benjamin Tiller and Laura Richardson Tiller. Henry Henley and Laura Elvira had one child, Leona Catherine Golden born 14 Jun 1853 in Panola County.
Soon thereafter, in 1855, Henry Henley Golden was murdered in a saloon brawl at DeBerry, Panola County, reportedly by a black slave. 4 Zora del Norte "Rio" Golden was reared by her grandparents, Richard Golden and Mary "Polly" Higgins.
