Henderson Family Introduction

 



Our Henderson roots are traced back to Mary Henderson also known as "The Widow Mary Henderson of 1790 US Census for Laurens, South Carolina." We really do not even know her husband's name for sure. But The Widow Mary's log cabin currently sets in Laurens County, S.C., and a family member owns the farm and has the documentation to prove her existence.

There on a hill is the family Henderson cemetery that probably has most of the ancestors that we are looking for but there are no names on the stones except one; Elizabeth Brock Henderson. Mastin Lee Henderson's first wife and the mother of his children.

Over the years, we have tried to identify and write about many of the Henderson family members that lived in Laurens County, S.C., and relocated to other parts of America.

There may be something to this information but we do not have it confirmed!


Was The Widow Mary possibly a daughter-in-law of the Thomas HENDERSON family of South Carolina?

The late Bob Henderson, author and researcher, thought so. We have never confirmed it!

His family was:

Thomas HENDERSON Jr b: ABT 1730/1735 in,, VA. He died 1806 in, Larens, SC
and was buried 1806 in Prob. Big Nob, Laurens, SC.

Thomas married Frances Unknown FRANKEY in,,VA. Frances was born ABT 1735/1740 in,,VA
or PA. She died 1811/1812 in, Laurens, SC and was buried 1811/1812 in Prob.
Big Nob, Laurens, SC.

They had 14 children.

He wrote a book entitled "Our House of Henderson" by Robert H. Henderson. You can find out more about this book and his Henderson lineage at: Henderson Books

What happened to James B. Henderson's family that lived in Smith County, Troup, Texas?

They were on the Smith County census for 1870 and disappeared after that. Did they go back to Alabama? Did they move somewhere else in Texas?  Lula and Minnie were the two daughters. Who did they marry? Who were their children?

I have three leads on Lula Henderson through marriage maybe:

Lula Henderson married Kirke Perry, 3 Jul 1892 in Smith County, Texas.

Lula Henderson married Monroe Harris, 21 Oct 1891 at Jax Texas (Houston area).

Lula Henderson married Robert L. McDaniel on 13 Mar 1895 at Erath, Texas.

Does anyone know who any of these Lula's parents were?
