Do you know of Hendy Creek ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Hendy Creek. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Hendy Creek.<1>

Our sources for Hendy Creek (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Hendy Creek other than they indicate that Hendy Creek would be found somewhere in Chemung County, New York.
