Samuel Henderson Sr. was born on November 29, 1759 at Greene County, TN. [one source has the place as Mecklenburg County, North Carolina]. He was the son of Samuel Henderson and Jean Thompson. Samuel Henderson Sr. married Lucy Ryckman on March 14, 1786 at Greene County, TN. [one source has the place as Williamson County]. Samuel Henderson Sr. died on December 5, 1828 at Williamson County, TN, at age 69. [one source has the place as Knox County, Tennessee].      He was the subject of the following sketch at Family History, Lucy Henderson Horton,:      [The following file contains information that is under dispute. It appears that Samuel was not the son of Nathaniel but rather the son of Samuel Henderson who was born November 28, 1740 in Greene County, Tennessee and died January 17, 1782. This record uses the latter as the ancestor of Samuel Henderson. The children of Samuel are however not disputed. The file has been edited in some areas]      Samuel Henderson was (the) son of Nathaniel ... (1736- ). Nathaniel was (the) son of Samuel Henderson (1700-1783), of Granville county, N.C. Samuel Henderson (1700-1783) was (the) son of Richard Henderson, of Hanover county, Va., and his wife, Polly Washer, daughter of Ensign Washer, who was a member of the House of Burgesses, which met at Jamestown, Va., in 1619. He represented Captain Lawnes' Plantation, later known as "Isle of Wight Plantation." Richard Henderson, of Hanover county, Va., was (the) son of the immigrant ancestor, Thomas Henderson, who came to Jamestown, Va. ... where he first settled (and) later ... located at Blue or Yellow Springs, near Jamestown. Thomas, this immigrant ancestor, was born in Fifeshire, Scotland (see pages 177, 178, 179, 180, Colonial Families of the United States of America, Vol. IV, ... George Norbury Mackenzie) ...      Samuel Henderson, son of Nathaniel, was born in 1759 in Granville county, N.C. ... (his) grandfather, Samuel Henderson (1700-1783) had moved from Hanover county, Va., about 1745 to what is now Granville county ... (He) moved with his father to Hawkins county, Tenn., and (in 1786) married Lucy Ryckman, who was born and reared in Cumberland county, Va., a county adjoining Hanover county, the former home of the Hendersons. We learn from the diary of his son, Dr. Samuel Henderson (1804-1884), written while his mother, Lucy Ryckman Henderson, still lived. This diary now (1919) is in the hands of Captain Thomas P. Henderson, of Franklin, Tenn. She was of Dutch descent.      Samuel, the subject of our sketch, was married in Greene county, Tenn., March 14, (1786), while this was a part of the short lived "State of Franklin." The State of Franklin was composed of Davidson, Greene, Washington, Hawkins and Sullivan counties. In November, 1785, a convention met at Greenville to ratify a constitution of the State of Franklin, which constitution had been made at Jonesboro, Dec. 14, 1784. John Sevier, at this convention, was chosen Governor of the State of Franklin; Langdon Carter was Speaker of the Senate; William Cage, Speaker of the House of Commons; and David Campbell, Joshua Gist and John Henderson, Judges of the Superior Court (see page 93, Wheeler's History of NC) ... William Cocke was to represent the State before Congress. In September, 1787, the Legislature of the State of Franklin met for the last time in Greenville.      After his marriage (to Lucy Ryckman), Samuel Henderson (1759-1828) moved to Knox county, Tenn., and settled on the Holston river, about four miles from Knoxville, on the opposite side of the river. Here their children were born. All their children were girls except the youngest, Samuel, who was born (in) 1804.      The writer has, framed and hanging in her home, an old land warrant which belonged to Samuel Henderson (1759-1828), showing 100 acres in Hawkins county was conveyed to him in 1791, through Isaac Taylor. This warrant is dated "Western Territory South of the Ohio, Sep. 19, 1791." This ... land warrant reads: "The Estate of Isaac Taylor, Des'd. to Samuel Henderson Jr. one hundred acre Land Warrant; Hawkins County, W.T. So. of Ohio. This day came James Henderson before me, James White, a Justice of the Peace for Hawkins county, and made oath that he heard Isaac Taylor assume on Armstrong's one Hundred Acre Warrant to Samuel Henderson, and further saith not. Sworn to before me this 19th of Sept. 1791. James White, Jcp. This day came Samuel Henderson as above and made oath that he never received any satisfaction for the above Warrant. Sworn to this 19th of Sept. 1791. James White, Jcp."      He was my grandfather. He belonged to (the) Ninth Regiment NC Continental Troops. This regiment was commanded by Colonel John P. Williams, Lieut. Col. John Luttrell, Major Wm. Polk (see NC Register). He enlisted Nov. 26, 1776. His name is on the tablet on the court house in Franklin, Tenn., placed there in honor of Revolutionary soldiers buried in Williamson county, Tenn. ... Early in the American Revolution men would sometimes enlist for a short period. We do not think Samuel Henderson served during the whole of the war. When sixteen years old, in 1775, he was with his father, Nathaniel Henderson, for a while at Fort Boonsboro on the KY River ...      Samuel Henderson (1759-1828), who was married in (1786), ten years after the founding of Boonsboro, named one of his ... children "Levisa" in honor of the old name given to (the) KY river upon which Boonsboro was founded ... the youngest child ... was given the name of his father, Samuel Henderson. I will say in passing that the last Samuel was my father and ... he did not marry until he was in his fortieth year. I am one of his younger children, so in this way tradition is close.      In 1808 he moved ... his family to Louisiana Territory (Missouri), settling ... (east) the vicinity of St. Louis ... They went all the way by river in a ... boat, down the Holston to the TN river, down this to the Ohio, along this to the Mississippi, then up to St. Louis.      Samuel Henderson (1759-1828) and his wife had both for many years been members of the Presbyterian church, but here they found no Presbyterian church, so they joined the Methodist church. From the diary of Samuel Henderson (1804-1884) we learn that his mother, in the spring of 1787, joined the Presbyterian church in Knox county, and that her husband, Samuel Henderson (1859-1828) had already joined the church about a year earlier.      Lucy Ryckman, wife of Samuel Henderson (1759-1828), was born in Cumberland county, Va. ... (of a) Dutch family, some of whom settled in New York at an early date ... One branch of the family left New York for Virginia, settling in Cumberland county ... To this branch Lucy (Ryckman) Henderson belongs ... (She) was born November 15, 1765, and died July 14, 1843. After her daughters had all married and had settled in different states, she made her home with her only son, Dr. Samuel Henderson (1804-1884), near Bethesda, Williamson county, Tenn. This son had such devotion for his mother that he would not suffer his heart to become so deeply involved that he should marry before she died. So he lived a bachelor. He married in his fortieth year. Lucy Henderson was active and full of energy even to her last days. Though she lived to be seventy-eight years old, it was no unusual thing to see her run from the house to the kitchen or negro cabins. She was five feet four inches in height, and of athletic build. Aside from more useful arts she taught her daughters to embroider and do fancy work.      The children of Samuel Henderson (1759-1828) and his wife, Lucy Ryckman, were all born in Knox county, Tenn., (and) all went with their father to Missouri in 1808 to live. Ann, married Charles Pyron, while living in Knox county, (and) she and her husband moved to Missouri in 1808. They were (the) parents of Tapley, John and Sterling Pyron. Levisa, named for Levisa river, ... married Bradford Bynum ... and made their home in IL. Mary, married Oliver Brewer, and moved to Missouri, but afterwards to (Hempstead) county, AR. Their descendants live now (1883) in Pike county, AR, and elsewhere. Mathilda, married Ely (Eli) Bynum, (and) lived in KY. Elizabeth, married John Strickland. Sally, married Henry Edwards, and lived in West TN. Lucy, after being divorced from her first husband (Meady Gully), by whom she had no children, married Thomas Gillespie. They moved to TX ... They had one child, Thomas. Samuel Henderson, ... was born October 8, 1804. He married Rachel Jane Hughes, March 14, 1844. He died December 9, 1884. He was mentioned in the Bible of Thomas Fearn Perkins Henderson (provided by Wilma Ranger),:           Samuel Henderson and Lucy Rickman were married March 14, 1786 A.D.      Samuel Henderson Sr. was born November 29, 1759 AD      Lucy Henderson Sr. was born November 16, 1765 AD      Mary Henderson was born Dec. 21, 1786 *      Anna Henderson was born November 5, 1788      Sally Henderson Was born January 20, 1791      Elizabeth Henderson was born October 14, 1793      Lavisa Henderson was born Dec. 25, 1795      Mathilda Henderson was born Sept. 19, 1798      Lucy Henderson was born January 23, 1801      Samuel Henderson was born October 8, 1804      Martha Henderson was born April 3, 1810      Samuel Henderson Sr. died Dec. 5, 1828      Lucy Henderson Sr. died July 14, 1843           * Bible of daughter has December 27, 1787           (see Chronicles of OK, December 1932, Volume 10, Number 4, page 600)      Certified by National Society of Colonial Dames of America in TN.
