Archibald Henderson (August 7, 1768 – October 21, 1822) was a Congressional Representative from North Carolina; born near Williamsboro, Granville County, North Carolina, August 7, 1768; attended the common schools, and was graduated from Springer College; moved to Salisbury, North Carolina, about 1790; studied law; was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Salisbury; clerk and master in equity 1795-1798; elected as a Federalist to the Sixth and Seventh Congresses (March 4, 1799 – March 3, 1803); member of the State House of Commons 1807-1809, 1814, 1819, and 1820; resumed the practice of law in Salisbury, N.C., and died there October 21, 1822; interment in the City Cemetery.

He was the son of Richard Henderson, the brother of Leonard Henderson, and father-in-law of Nathaniel Boyden.

The Archibald Henderson Law Office at Salisbury was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

The date of birth for Archibald in the application to the Sons of the Revolution listed in the Sources tab has 8-7-1786, but this seems wrong, as it would make him marry at age 16. To me, the date should be Aug-7, 1768 as in the Birgraphical Dictionary entry, also in the Sources tab
