Today I continue my series \u201cMayflower Descendants: Who\u2019s Who,\u201d with a special tribute to fallen heroes to commemorate Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

My first subject today are two brothers, Sidney Fulton Henderson (1921-1944) and Robert Adams Henderson (1925-1942), of Nantucket, Massachusetts, who never returned home after serving in the European and Pacific theaters during World War II.<\/p>\n

The brothers were born to police officer William Jerome Henderson (1899-1982) and Lillian Theresa (Fulton) Henderson (1899-1932).<\/p>\n

The Henderson brothers descend from Mayflower<\/em> passenger George Soule through one of the nine children born to his daughter Susanna (Soule) West and Francis West.<\/p>\n
