Hensonville Directory

Please note that I have not included the Westkill and Bushnellville listings since both are located in the Town of Lexington, Greene County, NY and I prefer to focus only on the Town of Windham.

Page 367 of a circa 1890 directory that includes a listing of the residents and businesses of the hamlet of Hensonville, Town of Windham, Greene County, NY. The hamlet of Big Hollow was not included in the photocopies I received. There must be a section for that hamlet because too many names of known residents are missing from the Hensonville and Windham pages. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the title page, the year it was published, nor the meaning of abbreviations used, although I can make an educated guess about the latter.


gen'l = general
h = house
lab = laborer
rd = road
wid = widow
