Mother's Maiden Name Jenkins
In Jenkins family documents Charles is called Charlie by his parents and grandparents. For example, in a transcript of an Oklahoma City television station, Joseph Asa was being interviewed, and as part of the program called Lahoma and spoke with her and Charlie. He asked Lahoma for him as Charles, but addressed the boy as Charlie.

------------------
My name is Charles Robert Hendron Jr. My mother was Gladys Lahoma Jenkins who was your fathers sister. I am your 1st cousin. Interesting isn't it.
I live in Cape Coral, FL. I am a yacht broker here & have been since I returned from Vietnam in '71. I have 3 grown children; a daughter Tracy age 25 & 2 sons Clay 22 & Colin 21. The mother of my kids & my wife is a wonderful named Susanne.
I remember you, Mike, Trent, Uncle Orville, Uncle Asa, Papa Joe & Mamaw but the memory is very hazy since I've had no contact with anyone on my mothers side since I was about 12. My wife found your site & brought it to my attention. She is into things like that.
I'd be very interested to know how all my Jenkins cousins are doing.
By the way, I have been called Chuck since high school.

Charles R Hendron
Spouse's Name Karen
Divorce 4 Mar 1981 Lee County
There is another marriage record within the period between Charles' marriage to Karen and their divorce, less than a year after their marriage. The name may represent a different Charles Hendron Jr. Since his next marriage is also in Florida, it does not seem to match with his presernce in Las Vegas or other Nevada Location in 1976

Charles Robert Hendron Jr and Susanne Marie Briggs (Susanne Marie Godfrey)
6 Dec 1981, Lee County
A compilation of public records in Fort Myers, Florida, which appears to refer to this same Charles Hendron, lists his name as Robert C Hendron. Some of these records have the birth date of 29 November 1943, 6 days later than the date reported on the California Birth Index. This may indicate a confusion with another individual named Robert C Hendron. Others have his correct birth date of 23 Nov 1943.

One of Chuck's former wives shared some information with me in 2008.
---------------------------------------
I was married to Charles Robert Hendron, Jr., the oldest son (Chuck). We had two sons Clayton 7/12/82 Colin 9/6/83. Chuck was married three times; had a daughter Andrea with Linda, daughter Tracy with Karen. Tracy lives in Orlando, is single. [This does not account for the record of marriage to Lora Mae Munson in 1972]
Chuck was in the first Air Calvary in Viet Nam and a helicopter pilot, he graduated from USC. He has a Purple Heart and Distinguished Flying Cross as well as other medals. He was a Yacht Broker in Lee County Fl (on the West Coast) for 25 years. He now lives in Tunica Mississippi and is a professional poker player."

On 9 September 2011, I received news of my cousin Chuck's death.
"Hi Orville,
"We corresponded a few times a couple of years ago with regards to the Hendron family. I am letting you know that Charles "Chuck" Hendron passed away on 7/12/11 in Memphis...There is an obit on legacy.com. Also, Joe David Hendron added another little one this past year. I don't know if you're still maintaining this information, but wanted you to know...just in case..Thanks!
-- Andrea Scheffler Hendron Volland, Virginia Beach, US, message on genealogy website, 9 September 2011
"Charles "Chuck" Hendron 7/12/2011 Chuck died in Memphis at the age of 67. He is survived by his children, Colin, Tracy and Clayton and a brother Richard."
-- Chuck Hendron Obituary, The News-Press (Memphis TN) on July 15, 2011, http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/news-press/obituary.aspx?n=chuck-hendron&pid=152537932
It is not clear why the obit does not include the other daughter Andrea Hendron Volland as a survivor. She was the one who first told me of Chuck's death. Andrea is the daughter of Chuck's first wife Linda Knudsen. After some time, the Social Security administration posted Chuck's Social Security information. Interesting that his actual SS# is not included on the record as reported by Ancestry in February 2012.
