Hendren/McLean, Wilkes Co, NC c. 1880

My grandfather, Jesse, and his brother, Ernest,
were born "McLean" in 1883 and 1881 respectively
in No. Wilkesboro. They were raised by their
maternal grandmother (a Hendren), and ended up with
her last name. I am looking for anyone with
information about the parents of Jesse and Ernest
and their connection with the William Hendren Jr.
(1779-1868) clan, most of whom left North Carolina, but 3-5
(out of 18) children: Oliver, James Russell, Stephen,
Solomon, and perhaps a daughter or two, stayed in Wilkes Co.
I would also like to find out about the McLean link, about
which I have no information other than that, apparently,
there was a legal marriage, since the boys were originally
listed as "McLeans" and only afterwards ended up as
"Hendrens."
Thanks,
Ken Hendren
