THIS IS FORWARDED TO OUR HENDERSON LIST FOR CAROL Original Message From granny@cp-tel.net (Carol Wells) Hinshaw's Quaker records give many facts about the Quaker Hendersons of VA, NC, and SC, and about those who left SC and went north. The family memoir written by the Rev. J.E.W. Henderson is the source that puts the isolated Quaker Hendersons into their families. Unluckily, the Rev. Henderson's memory was no better than the memories of any of the rest of us as we grow older and try to tell our families about the past. Now that his genealogy has put the generations in order, his several little mistakes can be corrected by official records. Richard Henderson was born about 1710 or 1715 in the part of Hanover County, VA, that later became Louisa County, and was probably the youngest child of William Henderson who died 1845. Richard married Elizabeth whose last name is not known. She was very likely a Branson, but no proof exists. Their children were William who married Ann Leakey in 1767 and died 1816. His wife and any children predeceased him. His heir was his niece Anna Holliday who died unmarried, her estate being divided among her brothers and sisters. Sarah (not Lydia; she had a daughter Lydia. This is one of the Rev. Henderson's little memory slip-ups.) She married William Holliday. Nathaniel married 1762 Rebecca Tornton. He died 1803 leaving a will in Edgefield, SC. John married Rachel Thornton Thomas married out of unity 1767 Elizabeth. MOved to Franklin, Indiana. Samuel. Never married. Shadrack married Eleanor Holiday. All the above children were born before 1755; the following after 1755 according to the 1800 census. Hannah, married James Rushton/Ruston. James married Eleanor. Richard married Rachel Thornton [a different girl from the Rachel that his brother John married] Nathan married --- Haralson. The Rev. Henderson included a last child, Rachel Henderson. I have found no trace of such a daughter and believe she may really have been a daughter of one of Quaker Richard Henderson's sons. I wish to thank the person who shared the writings of the Rev. James Elbert Washington Henderson with the late Jim Henderson, and am grateful to Jim for sharing the bible record with other researchers. I have more, in some cases much more, about the sons and daughters of Quaker Richard Henderson which I am happy to share with interested people. Carol Wells
