  • Notes 
    • From the Pioneer Families of Missouri book, which is not always accurate:
      Alexander Henderson, of Augusta county, Va., had sixteen children, and raised ten of them. The names of those who lived were? John, Samuel, Joseph, Robert, David, Alexander, Jr., William, George, James, and Daniel. The latter married Martha Steele, of Virginia, and settled on Auxvasse creek, in Callaway county, in 1823. They had four children, all of whom were born in Virginia and came to Missouri with their parents. Their names were? Alexander, James S., John S., and Jane. Alexander married Dicey Finley. Judge James S. married Emily Boone, daughter of Judge Jesse Boone. John S. was married twice; first to Mary Snell, and second to Elizabeth Pratt. Jane married Colonel Isaac Tate. Joseph Henderson, brother of Daniel, married Susan Rallef, of Virginia and settled in Callaway county in 1835. John married Polly Burton, of Kentucky, and settled in Callaway county in 1835. William married a widow lady named Irvine, and settled in Audrain county. George and James also settled in Missouri, the former in Clay county, and the latter in St. Louis. David married Ellen Anderson, and they had? Alexander, David, Jr., Joseph, John, William, Margaret, Rachel, Elizabeth, and Elsa. Alexander, son of David Henderson, Sr., was married first to Margaret Hart, and second to Elizabeth Morrison. He had ten children by his two wives. Mr. Henderson settled in Callaway county at an early date, and taught singing school for a number of years. It is said that he and George W. Burt sang love songs so sweetly that the pupils all fell in love with them. David J., son of Alexander Henderson, Jr., married Mary R. Blackenburg, and settled in Callaway county in 1823. They had nine sons and two daughters.

      From the Henderson Chronicles:
      With his brothers, Wm. and John, Alexander Henderson settled on Owl Creek, near Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia, ab 1735-40. The duration of his stay in this vicinity was short, next he removed to Albemarle County, Va., where he purchased 400 acres of land on Lickinghole, which he sold to John Piper in 1779-80, who in turn sold to John Buster in 1792. Henderson removed to Augusta County for a few years and finally settled in that section of Kentucky which in 1798 became Fleming Co. (It was formerly a part of Mason Co., which was formed in 1788 out of Bourbon Co., Ky.)
      Miller, in his "Genealogies," mentions Alexandar Henderson of Augusta County, Va., who married Sara, dau of Andrew and Elizabeth Wallace of Albemarle Co., who migrated to Madison Co, Ky., ab 1787 and settled on Paint Lick Creek. Whether this is the Alexander in question is a matter of uncertainty. Alexander was a common name in the family.
      But it is certain that the old Henderson home in Fleming Co., Ky., was located about a mile east by north, of Mt. Carmel, on the north side of the State road to Virginia. The tract of land was inherited by a lineal descendant, Geo. A. Henderson (1823-1892), it passed into the hands of a nonkinsman, Sam'l. Foxworthy, in 1876. The old family burying ground on the farm has suffered the consequences of careless neglect; the fences, like Ben Bolt's Mill, have gone to decay, and over the graves are fields of waving grain.

      They had 16 children,
