The Henderson Baronetcy, of Fordell (agnatic primogeniture) in the County of Fife, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 15 July 1664 for John Henderson. The fifth Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Fife, Kirkcaldy Burghs, Seaford and Stirling Burghs. The title became extinct on the death of the sixth Baronet in 1833.(The pretenders to the baronetcy would logically be the descendants of Capt. James Henderson (1618-1644), uncle of the 1st Baronet. But no one in his descendants seems to have claimed the title officially.)
