About Capt William Henderson, II
- from Ray, Worth S. Tennessee Cousins. Published by the Author. Texas. page 415:
WILLIAM HENDERSON (who was the son of WILLIAM and the grandson of the emigrant, WILLIAM HENDERSON) - and who had gradually moved up the country from New Kent and King & Queen County, was sworn in as undersheriff of ORANGE COUNTY, when the county was organized in 1??34 at the first court. He had probably been a resident of Spottsylvania Co. for many years until the territory comprising ORANGE had been taken for that purpose. His brother JOHN HENDERSON, then about 21 years old, had patented 500 acres in SPOTTSYLVANIA in 1728, had sold a small part of it and bought some more from an adjoining tract to add to what he had left, which another brother, SAMUEL HENDERSON had purchased from HENRY FOX, one of his father's old King & Queen County neighbors. The JOHN HENDERSON lands (patented 1728) even at this late day, still belong to Henderson descendants. However, as new counties came into existence this same land now lies in LOUISA County. Two other brothers, THOMAS and RICHARD HENDERSON settled over in LOUISA COUNTY, together with a cousin named WILLIAM HENDERSON with a wife named MARTHA.
