Relationship2nd great-granduncle of Lorna Henderson.
     
     John Henderson was born on 23 Sep 1817 at Bridge of Allan, Lecropt, STI, SCT.1 He was christened in 1817 at Lecropt, PER, SCT; no date given in register, Wit: William Stevenson and James Henderson (could he be a brother of John's father Archibald?).1
     On 1 Nov 1840 at Pendreich, Par. of Logie, PER, SCT, a John Henderson, farmer was appointed an elder to the Logie Parish, probably too young to be this John.2
     John Henderson and John Henderson at Ayton, BEW, SCT, in 1851 are possibly the same person ; right birth place and timeframe, has son Archibald and dtr Margaret (albeit 3rd, not 2nd dtr). Pity I can find them in 1841 (also at Ayton) and then no further sightings whatsoever.3,4
