TEXANS WHO WORE THE GRAY by Sid S. Johnson 
HILL HENDON  

Hill Hendon, of Athens, was born in the state of Alabama in 1844, 
and removed with his father's family, Harris Hendon, to Cherokee 
county, Texas, in 1850.  He joined Co. C, Third Texas Cavalry, 
June 11, 1861, and was in the battles of Oak Hill, Elk Horn Tavern, 
Iuka, Corinth, Holly Springs, Thompson's Station, and with Gen. 
Joseph E. Johnston in the Georgia  campaign, until he received a 
serious wound in the hip in July, 1864, which disabled him for 
further service.  He served with Whitfield, Mabry, Ross and W. H. 
Jackson, and made a chivalrous and daring Confederate soldier.  He 
is now a citizen of Henderson county.
