Surnames: Henderson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/7aB.2ACEAE/930.1 Message Board Post: Many HENDERSON families came to Canada during the early 1800's. My ancestors arrived in Quebec Province in ~1824, and they settled in Argenteuil County. Other HENDERSON's, including 7 HENDERSON brothers, came over and settled .. in all the eastern Provinces. You didn't state where your Sarah HENDERSON was born, but, if she was born in Canada in 1857, she could have come from any of the above families. FYI: "Irish immigrants" arrived in Canada in two waves, pre-Famine years were 1820's, 1830's, etc., and Famine years centered around the 1850's. Many of the so-called "Irish immigrants" were originally from Scotland.
