| James Richard Evans was born on August 24, 1854 at AR. He was the son of James M. Evans and Cynthia Ann Brewer. |
|
James Isaac Henderson II was born in 1700 at Scotland.
He was the son of James Isaac Henderson I.
James Isaac Henderson II married Mary Rhodes before 1720.
In 1741 James was named a Constable. He was not very adept at this job. He was summoned to a grand jury for his activities. On Oct 4, 1743 in a court session (the King versus James Henderson) "being called, appeared and pleaded not guilty by Samuel Swann (founder of Swannsboro), his attorney, the jury was sworn and found on their oaths the sd. James Henderson not guilty of the trespass whereof he stood presented." Records indicate he lived in Onslow County, NC. James was in possession of 220 acres of land that he obtained from one Nathaniel Averitt who obtained it as a grant. The land was located on Kisabel's Creek in Onslow County, NC. It was the land on which James Isaac lived. It was located near James Henderson's (James Isaac's father?) Landing. James willed this land to his daughter Lucy. James Isaac Henderson II died circa 1770 at Onslow County, NC. James Isaac lists the following people in his will, His children: Lucy, Arglass [Argulus], Bethany, Elizabeth and Nancy. He also mentions a granddaughter Sarah Nixon (who was a daughter of Bethany). he does not mention sons, James, Joseph or William or his wife Mary. It is assumed these four people predeceased him. However, more research needs to be done to determine for sure when they died. The actual will: Onslow County, NC; Will of JAMES HENDERSON October 20, 1770 In the name of God amen.

The data on Argaleus and his children comes from Bob Henderson, Ed Henderson, Pegge Davis, Monica Ruttledge, Teresa Harris and 'GrammyJane'. Their information is complimentary and affirmative. The children shown are from all sources with the exception that Sarah and Molly are unique to Bob. According to Pegge, Frances was the only daughter and the youngest child of Mary and Argaleus Henderson. Bob, however shows two more daughters, Sarah T. and Molly. Monica and 'GrammyJane' list Elizabeth (An Elizabeth Nickson is mentioned in the will of Argaleus). Monica shows a Mary. It is possible that Molly is the nickname for Mary. Two other sources show the name as either Mary "Molly" or Molly Mary. Only one source shows Mary as a daughter and I believe Mary was the name of the wife. We are going to use Molly Mary for the wife's name. We will not list Molly or Mary as daughters of Argaleus. Sarah T. is another puzzlement. Only one of the four sources I have shows her as a daughter of Argaleus. That source also shows a Sarah T. as a daughter of Isaac (son of Argaleus) I suspect there is a Sarah T. somewhere in this tree but I don't think it is as daughter of Argaleus. One source shows John with a daughter named Sarah. That is where we will put Sarah T. for now. It is possible that none of these assumptions are valid but they may also be correct in whole or part. We continue to research this family in hopes of answering the questions. There is an Argalus Henderson who is given as father to Abner Newton Henderson Sr. by another source. This relationship seems unlikely given the fact that Argaleus would be over 70 years old when Abner Newton was born but the information is provided herein to provoke research. Argaleus was known by many names: Arcles, Argulus, Argullus, Arglass, Argaleus. We will use Argaleus for his given name. He was a blacksmith by trade and he apparently made distilled spirits. He loved to serve on juries (a trait according to one source that he shared with his father and grandfather) and spent a lot of time at the courthouse. He was a wealthy man having acquired a large amount of land and many slaves in his lifetime. It is said by Thelma Schoolfield that Argaleus obtained a 550 acre land grant in 1783 from Alexander Martin the Governor of North Carolina. Argaleus served in the military as a Regulator (Colonial Records, page 73, Vol VII) and protested the high taxes in North Carolina. (The Regulators group (so-called because they pledged to "regulate" the local government).was organized sometime around 1766 by a man named Herman Husband. It was started as a movement to peacefully protest the high taxes on such things as Marriage Licenses, deed recording and other similar activities mandated by The English Stamp Act. These monies were apparently needed to build a palace for the then current North Carolina Governor William Tryon. Nothing came of the peaceful protests so the mission of the Regulators changed about 1768 to one of more forceful protest even unto armed rebellion. Because of their religious beliefs the Quaker members of the Regulators withdrew from the organization at this time. Apparently Argaleus was a Quaker but chose to stay in the service. He was expelled from the church. One source indicates that the organization lost 30 members from this more warlike reorganization. Soon the protests turned to skirmishes with one such being at Alamance Creek. There they were defeated by the militia of the Governor on May 16, 1771. This action is said by some to be the first battle of the Revolutionary War.) Argaleus lived at various times in Onslow County, NC; Orange County, NC; and Chatham County, NC. He died in Chatham County. He is listed with three other Henderson men in the 1755 Orange County, NC Tax List. The other three are: Richard "The Quaker", Frances who died in SC and is likely related to Argaleus and Ezekial and William about whom nothing more is known. When he wrote his will he left his youngest son John out of it. Whatever the cause of the omission Argaleus later wrote a separate document giving John land and a house. As indicated in this deed: "This indenture made the ninth day of November in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and four betwixt (sic) Hercules Henderson of the county of Chatham and state of North Carolina of the part and John Henderson of the county and state aforesaid of the other part witnesseth (sic) that I the said Hercules Henderson have by these present give (sic) unto my son John Henderson the house and plantation whereon he now lives all that part of my deeded land being on the East side of the Meadow Branch lying and being situated on the North side of Brookses (sic) Creek thence North to a post thence West to the first station.

The original record was signed by Simon Poe and witnessed by Joe Watson and Hermon Husband.

Isaac Henderson was born on November 29, 1753 at Silk Hope, Orange County, NC.
He was the son of Argaleus Hercules Henderson I and Molly Mary Clark.
He served in the military in the State Militia in 1772 under Captain Stephen Poe. According to the following abstract from the Chatham County Deed Book B-128 dated March 2, 1778 Argaleus was already a property owner in Chatham County. His property is mentioned as adjacent to the property in the deed abstract. "02 Mar 1778 Chatham Deed B-128 2 Mch 1778 Fanny Berry, relict of Richard Berry decd, Pretteman Berry & wife Sarah, William Cain and wife Lucy to Richard Kennon for 226 pds 100 ac on south side Haw River at mouth of Berry Branch adj Herculas Henderson. /s/ Pretyman Berry, William X Cain, Fanny X Berry, Sarah x Berry, Lucy X Cain. Wit. Isaiah Hogan, Elisha Cain, Roger Griffith." Isaac Henderson married Henrietta ______ before December 27, 1779. Isaac Henderson appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1790 at Hillsborough District, Chatham County, NC. Isaac is shown living with another male born before 1774 (possibly Argaleus) and 2 males born after 1774: Joel (b 1782) and John (b. 1789). He is listed as living with his five females: likely his wife, Henrietta and daughters Frances (b. 1779), Barbara (b. 1784), Sarah T. (b. 1786) and Elizabeth (b. 1790). He appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1820 at Chatham County, NC. Isaac was shown as born before 1775 living with two males born between 1795 and 1802, one male born between 1776 and 1795, one female born between 1810 and 1820, two females born between 1802 and 1804 and one female born between 1776 and 1795 (probably his wife). He died at Chatham County, NC. [Isaac died intestate.]. There was an estate sale after his death that netted over $600. He owned more than 550 acres of land which he left to his children after Henrietta's (Anaritta's) death. Hezekiah and Obediah bought all the land from the other children. There was a petition brought by Joel Henderson et.al. to cause the settlement of the estate of Isaac Henderson sometime in 1826. It was heard by the court in the September session. It was settled in favor of the Petitioner regarding the finalization of the estate of Isaac Henderson. It appears from the information in the document that Frances has died by 1826 and Nancy is represented by her husband, Alexander Clark. From Thelma's notes: Isaac's property was within sight of the present day Brown's Chapel Methodist Church, located off the Pittsboro Hwy(87). According to Harvey Newlin, the property was on the left side of the church on a branch. There was no church there at the time they lived. Verified by Dora Jones in 1948. In 1960 a field remained there on the side of the road towards Pittsboro. Mrs. W. F. Jones (Dora Lutterloh) was 71 years old in 1948. She Remembers: 'Regarding our Great Grandpa (Isaac), I am almost sure he was named Isaac. At the time he lived and died, there was no church at Brown's Chapel, or any churches around. He and his wife were buried in a family burying ground, I am sure, with no monument or anything at their graves more than rocks. I expect they were buried near where they lived, and no doubt their graves have been tended (plowed) over. I never saw any of my grandparents to remember them - I am sorry, I never. They were fine people.' |

James Henderson was born in 1755 at Orange County, NC. [One source indicates the birth year as 1765. One source indicates the birth place as Chatham County, NC.].
He was the son of Argaleus Hercules Henderson I and Molly Mary Clark.
He was in the military in the State Militia under Captain Stephen Poe in 1772. Thelma's records state: James was Frances' twin brother, born april 23, 1772. He married Molly and had daughter Rachel. He died prior to 1804. She doesn't give a reference or clue about where she got this data. The birth date is unlikely since he was in the State Militia in 1772. James Henderson married Christian "Molly" Rogers, daughter of Stephen Rogers. [A Christian Henderson is listed, along with Isaac Henderson as the administrator of James's estate sale. Is that this women? One reseacher indicates his wife's name was Frances _____.]. James is mentioned in the 1790 Chatham County, Hillsborough District, NC census. He is shown living with a wife, 3 white males under the age of 16 and 5 white females. He is not shown in the 1800 census which supports the death date of 1791. James Henderson died before October 3, 1791 at Chatham County, NC. An inventory of James property and an estate sale were held after his death by the administrators of his estate, Christian Henderson (his wife?) and Isaac Henderson, his brother. Below is the inventory and details of the sale: Inventory of James Henderson Deceased taken this 3rd Day of October 1791 3 Head Horses 13 head Cattle 7 Head Sheep 24 head Hoggs 3 feather Beds & furniture 3 Wheels 2 pr cards (probably combing cards for cotton) 2 Saddles and Bridles thirteen Hh'ds ( hogsheads?)

Argaleus mentions "the children" of James in his will but only Rachel is named. He appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1820 at Chatham County, NC. James is dead by 1820 but he seems to be still listed as te head of household in the 1820 census. There is one male and one female born between 1810 and 1820, one female born between 1802 and 1804 and one female born between 1776 and 1795 (presumably the actual head of household and his widow). |

Ezekiel Henderson was born in 1763 at Orange County, NC. [One source has the birth place as Chatham County, NC.].
He was the son of Argaleus Hercules Henderson I and Molly Mary Clark.
Ezekial fought in the Revolutionary War and received a pension. In 1781, he enlisted (at age 18) as a private soldier for three months. He enlisted again in March of 1872 for twelve months. He was in the cavalry for half that time and in the infantry for the other half. He saw action within Chatham County, NC only and that was just skirmishes not battles. He was discharged in 1783 at Hillsboro, NC. Ezekiel Henderson married Elizabeth Brasher, daughter of Thomas L. Brasher, on October 17, 1782 at Chatham County, NC. [According to a note from Pegge their children migrated into Indiana, Alabama and Mississippi. One source has the wedding year as 1874. Another has the date as October 10.]. The 1790 Greenvile County SC Census (circa Jun 1790) shows Ezekial and Elizabeth with 4 children, 3 boys and 1 girl. An Ezekiel Henderson is listed in the November 1816 list of voters. Was "our" Ezekiel in Orange County, IN for a few years? Probably not. This Ezekiel was likely a younger man but we need to do more research. We know "our" Ezekiel was counted in the 1820 Greenville District Census so his sojourn to Indiana would have been short in any case. According to Robin Henderson this Ezekiel was found in Monroe County, Indiana in 1819 and lived there the rest of his life. That would mean that he is not "our" Ezekiel. Ezekiel Henderson appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1820 at Greenville District, SC. Information was found on Page 112. 010101-01101. On July 8, 1833 Ezekial applied for and was granted a pension as a result of his service in the Revolutionary War. The pension in the amount of $57.50 per year was granted on April 17, 1834. On February 24, 1839 he published his will.

Heirs of Sarah Long dec'd 9. Heirs of Brahser Henderson dec'd 10. T. B. Cox and Mary his Wife, Greenville 11. John Henderson He prays that citations do issue requiring them to show cause why a Final Settlement should not be had at such time as you may see fit. And your Petition (unreadable) can pray. This 12th April 1856 (signed) H. L. Henderson. In an affidavit sworn by Henderson Brasher (son of Lawrence Aquilla Brahser and Frances Henderson) in support to the Eastern Cherokee Indian Application of William Edward Ayers (nephew of Brasher Henderson) dated September 14, 1907 it is stated that: "My mother's parents (my maternal grandparents) were Jim Henderson, my grandfather, and Lila Henderson (nee Taylor), my Grandmother." This statement creates several questions. First, was Ezekiel known by the nickname "Jim" in some circles. Second, who was Lila Taylor? Third, did Elizabeth die and did Ezekiel marrying again? Since Henderson's mother, Frances was born on October 10, 1799 Ezekiel would have to have married Lila Taylor by that time (that means that Frances, William, Rebecca, Thomas L. and Delila are not the children of Elizabeth Brasher if the statement by Henderson Brasher is true). Since Elizabeth was mentioned in Ezekiel's will (dated February 24, 1839) as his wife it seems that they were still married when Frances was born. I suspect Brahser Henderson was confused when he made the statement in the affidavit but research continues. |

Lewis Henderson was born in 1761 at Orange County, NC. [One source shows birth in 1759.].
He was the son of Argaleus Hercules Henderson I and Molly Mary Clark.
Lewis Henderson appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1790 at Chatham County, NC. Information was found on Hillsborough District. Lewis was shown living with one female, probably his wife.
He appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1800 at Chatham County, NC. Information was found on Hillsborough District. Lewis was shown as born between 1774 and 1784 living with 2 males born between 1790 and 1800; one male born between 1784 and 1790; 3 females born between 1790 and 1800 and one female born between 1774 and 1784 (likely his wife).
He appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1810 at Chatham County, NC. Information was found on Page 208.
Lewis sold his property in Chatham County, NC in August 1815. He appeared as head of household in the census enumerated 1830 at Perry County, AL. Listed with 5 males, 5 females and 17 slaves. It is not known if this is the same Lewis Henderson but there is also a James Henderson listed with 1 male and 1 female in the same census. One researcher indicates this is not Lewis, son of Argaleus. Her evidence is pretty convincing. However, I am leaving this information here while research continues. |

Henrietta ______ was born on November 29, 1760.
She married Isaac Henderson, son of Argaleus Hercules Henderson I and Molly Mary Clark, before December 27, 1779.
Henrietta (Anaritta) filed two petitions with the 1822 Term of the Chatham County Court. The first was to request a share from the estate of the crops, stock and provisions sufficient to sustain her and the ten children that survived Isaac for one year. It is unclear if the petition was granted. The second petition was to secure for her dower one third of the land (including the home place and out buildings) upon which Isaac lived at the time of his death. It appears that this petition was granted. The petitions indicate that some of Isaac's children were living in Tennessee. Text of the two petitions is shown below. The words in brackets ([ ]) are of questionable transcription. Words that could not be deciphered are indicated by _______ . -------------------------------- State of North Carolina Chatham County To the worshipful, the Justices of the Court of Pleas and Quarters Sessions for said County the Petition for Anaritta Henderson, widow Respectively showeth that Isaac Henderson late of said County died sometime in the present year intestate and without Will and that letters of Administration on his estate have been granted by this Worshipful Court to Charles I.

John Henderson was born on March 6, 1789 at Silk Hope, Chatham County, NC. [Both Bobs indicates birth date as 1782. Another source indicates year as 1788 and a third source indicates 1802 as the birth year. Based on information in the 1850 Todd County Census he was born in 1790.].
He was the son of Isaac Henderson and Henrietta ______.
John Henderson married Candace ______.
Thelma Schoolfield lists his name as John B. and indicates he moved his family to Todd County Kentucky. He served as the attorney for his brothers and sisters in the petition to settle the estate of Isaac Henderson, their father in 1826. There is a John Henderson listed in the 1850 Todd County, Kentucky Census married to Polly _____ with a 10 year old son, James. He is living next door to the son of Barbara Henderson Jones. Barbara is the sister of John. Linda Allred Cooper indicates that John was married to Candas _____. And there is indeed a John and Candas listed in the 1850 Chatham County North Carolina Census. The question is whether John was the man listed in Chatham County or the man listed in Todd County. It is unlikely he was in both places. I am of the belief that John was in Todd County and that another John, son of ____ married Candas and remaind in Chatham County. However, until proof is found I am leaving John and Candas as they are. Research continues. John Henderson appeared as head of household in the census enumerated August 19, 1850 at Chatham County, NC. Information was found on Page364B, Reel 432-624, Upper Regiment, Dwelling 192, Family 193. John was shown at age 48 as a married white male born in North Carolina. He was listed as a wheelwright with real estate valued at $150. Candas was shown at age 38 as a married white female born in North Carolina, wife of John. Their children were all born in North Carolina. Son, William (age 23) a wheelwright; son, James (age 17) a farmer; son, Joseph (age 14); daughter, Elizabeth (age 11); daughter, Melissa C. (age 7); son, John S. (age 4); and daughter, Narcissa (age 1). He enlisted in Confederate Soldiers of America: PVT, Co. B. Discharged a couple of months later because he was too old. The following children are probably the children of Susan Spurlin but it is unclear if they are the children of this John Henderson. He married Susan Spurlin. |
| Joel Nathan Henderson was born in 1788 at Pittsboro, Chatham County, NC. He married Susannah Morgan "Stucky" "Sucky" Smart circa 1815. Joel Nathan Henderson died in 1868 at Montgomery County, NC. |

Hezekiah Henderson was born on March 23, 1797 at Chatham County, NC.
He was the son of Isaac Henderson and Henrietta ______.
Hezekiah Henderson married Anna Johnson, daughter of Joshua Johnson and Annie Whitehead, before 1822.
Hezekiah Henderson appeared as head of household in the census enumerated July 18, 1850 at Chatham County, NC. Information was found on Page 354A, Reel 432-624, Upper Regiment, Dwelling 27, Family 28. Hezekiah (age 53) was listed with his wife, Anna (age 50). One source shows the name of the wife as possibly Susia but Thelma Schoolfield clearly indicates it is Anna. He was shown with four children: Emma (age 28), Ruth (age 17), Caroline (age 13) and Isabella (age 11). It would appear Isaac, Rachel and Camellia have already married and left the home. There were three unrelated people living in the household (all born in North Carolina): James Johnson (age 30) a shoemaker; Atlas Dawson (age 24) a shoemaker; and William Johnson (age 21) a farmer.
Hezekiah and Obediah, his brother bought their fathers land from their siblings. This land is the current Henderson Tanyard Road. According to Thelma Schoolfield Hezekiah and Obediah are the only children of Isaac to remain in Chatham County. The two brothers operated a tannery and a general store during the Civil War. The proceeds from the activity brought by the war made them wealthy men. Thelma Henderson Schoolfield wrote of a conversation with Mrs. Dora Jones (Dora Lutherloh Jones, granddaughter of Hezekiah and daughter of Ruth Henderson and Dr. A. I. H. Lutherloh): "Hezekiah died in 1877, at the age of 71. He was crippled with rheumatism for a year or more before death. I have heard my father say, and mother too, that Grandpa Hezekiah fed the hungry and clothed the naked. He had good property at that time he and Uncle Obed had a store together, and tanyard, I think he did a good lot of farming also. He employed several hands, mother told me, and carried on a good business. He lived to be right old. Grandmother died first of fever and he was down with rheumatism for a year or more. My mother (Ruth Henderson - Mrs. A. I. H. Lutterloh) waited on him, and she and father and we children taken care of him. I was 2 years old when he died. Mother said I should run and pick up his tin he spat in, and hand it to him when he dropped it on the floor." He is listed as 58 years old in the 1860 Chatham County NC Census. [It is interesting to note that most of the birth dates changed by 4 or 5 years between the 1850 census and the 1860 census.] He is listed with his wife Ann (Anna, age 56) and children: Carrie (Caroline, age 21) and Isabell (Isabella, are 17). There are three boarders listed as living in the house too: Andy Johnson (age 12), Dr. Franklin Cook (age 21) and William Newlin (age 35). He is listed as 68 years old in the 1870 Chatham County NC Census. He is shown with his wife, Ann (Anna, age 66) and three boarders: a black farm laborer named Adam (age 19), Isabella George (age 13) whom he mentions in his will and Joseph Brown (age 15). It is assumed that Isabella George is the daughter of Elizabeth Henderson George (the great-granddaughter of Argaleus). Isabella would be Hezekiah's grandniece. Hezekiah wrote the following will on January 25, 1876. In it he indicates that his wife Anna and children, Rachel, Ruth, Caroline, Isabella and Bettie (Betsy) are still living. Since the other children are not mentioned it is assumed that they have predeceased him. Hezekiah also indicates the female children are all married and apparently all but Caroline have children. From a comment in the will it seems that Caroline may also be in ill health. The husbands of the females are, respectively, Mr. Perry, Dr. A. I. H. Lutterloh, Osage Lutterloh, John Dark and Mr. Straughan. Hezekiah also mentions one of the boarders in his house, Isabella George in his will. There is no indication of the relationship between the two people. The will was probated in August 1877. The Will of Hezekiah Henderson Chatham County, North Carolina In the name of God, Amen, I, Hezekiah Henderson of the County of Chatham, and State of North Carolina, being of sound mind, do make, publish and declare this to be my last Will and Testament as follows.
