He married MARY ELEANOR WILLIAMS 19 May 1836, daughter of WILLIAM WILLIAMS and HENRIETTA WHEELER. She was born 11 Apr 1811, and died 24 Feb 1840. Notes for GEORGE HENDERSON: Though only a lad of 16, he got his parent's permision to leave the family farm in Mayslick, Kentucky. He worked his way to Louisville Kentucky. His ambtition was to own a store and to be his "own master". " He was a born merchant and being Scott was thrifty. A principle he clung to all his life was to work for himself whenever possible; to be his own master. Following this principle, thought little more than a child, he soon saved enough money to load his own flat boat with merchandise which he floated down to the big sugar and cotton plantations on the lower Mississippi, He would sell his cargo at a big profit before reaching New Orleans, then would buy a pony and start back over the dangerous trail to Louisville. In ten years, he had amassed a considerable sum of money. Though thrifty and carefule, there was an element of boldness in him. He saw things large and played for big stakes. He flet that cotton would rise just as soon as the war of 1814 was over, so he put every cent into cotton. The levee at New Orleans was full of it and when Andrew Jackson built his breastwork of cotton bales, from behind which he defeated the picked soldiers of Packenham, it was George Henderson's little fortune that was routed instewad of our courageous Tennessee and Kentucky riflemen. The cotton was shot full of lead which made it uselenss, and the bailing was ripped to tatters. There is a tradition in our branch of the family that George. rather unhappy, sold the wreckage to a trader for a song, the trader, without bothering to remove the lead, rebailed the cotton and resold it by weight at a tidy profit. But George's cotton helped in the defense of New Orleans. Young George went broke, and back to flat boating. By 1830 he has made another fortunre. The work isnot used in the modern sense but in the terms of one hundred years ago. He moved to Manchester, St Louis County, Missouri where he opend a general store and private banking business. Manchester was 20 miles west of St Louis and was the first night's halt of the emigrant trains to the west. His enterprise prospered and George Henderson became one of the weatlthy men of his community.

Just in short: King James of Scotland and England (of the "King James Bible") sent a lot of Scots to northern Ireland in the early-mid 1600s to settle there, Protestants in a Catholic community. They stayed and worked hard, increasing the value of the land which had been leased to them for 99 years. A century later, the leases came up for renewal (at greatly increased rents), there were famines on the land, and the Presbyterian Scots were not happy with the state-sponsored Church of England. So, for a variety of reasons, many of them emigrated from Ireland in the mid-1700s to North America: some to Canada, some to New Hampshire, some to the frontiers of the English colonies where they could claim land for themselves. Their fervor for independence from just about everything fueled the American Revolution. The term "Scotch-Irish" was actually coined here in the States in the late 1900s by family historians who wanted to distinguish their Protestant, pre-American Revolution imm! igrant lines from the many Catholic Irish immigrants who arrived in the mid and late nineteenth century. Friction between the Protestant descendants of the Scotch-Irish who stayed in northern Ireland and the Catholics there continues to this day. ===================== From: [email protected] Date: Wed Dec 14 09:10:47 CST 2005 To: [email protected] Subject: [HENDERSON] Re: John Henderson married Anne Givens abt 1764 in WVA This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
