Notes for ROBERT HENDERSON:

Robert Henderson was born in South Carolina. One possible county is Edgefield County. An Elizabeth or (Susannah) Henderson, born 1802 married Wily G. Gwyn, born 1795, in Edgefield County on March 4, 1819. They had three children born in Edgefield County but on March 7, 1828, they had a son, Nathaniel Gwyn, born in Wilcox County, AL. Could this be Robert's sister? or other relative? A Nathaniel Henderson died in Edgefield County, SC. Will dated October 1801, and filed July 9, 1803. His wife was named Rebecca and his children were Thomas, Richard, William, Eli Nathaniel, Mary Ramsey and Martha Hollingsworth.

Robert Henderson was born 1793 in South Carolina, possibly Marion County. He served in the War of 1812 in the 27th Regiment of the SC Volunteers under Major John Keath and Captain Samuel Bigham. He was honorably discharged Dec. 22, 1812. The documents state that he lived "61 miles from Georgetown" where he was discharged and that he enlisted in the Marion District.

Robert Henderson sold land to Samuel Sanford on Dec. 4, 1811 "SWs Little Pee Dee River". A witness to the sale was David Bigham. In these abstracts were also a "Rice Henderson" and "Archibald Henderson" and a " Katherine Henderson". John Henderson was a deputy surveyor for land in this area. In South Carolina Memorials it shows a William Finley purchased 500 acres in Craven County, NE side of Little Pee Dee River. John Henderson was the deputy surveyor. This was done Oct. 11, 1775.

He married Elizabeth McCowan on January 31, 1828 in Wilcox Co., AL. Robert Henderson died in 1873 and he and his wife are both buried at Capell Cemetery (also known as Pebble Hill Cemetery or Gravel Creek Cemetery) in Wilcox County, AL. Elizabeth McCowan Henderson is believed to have come from Morgan County, GA

In Edgefield County, SC an Elizabeth (or Susannah) Henderson, born 1802 married Wiley G. Gwyn, born 1795, in Edgefield County on March 4, 1819. They had three children born in Edgefield County but on March 7, 1828, they had a son, Nathaniel Gwyn, born in Wilcox County, AL. Could Elizabeth be Robert's sister or other relative? A Nathaniel Henderson died in Edgefield County, SC. Will dated October 1801 and filed July 9, 1803. His wife was named Rebecca and his children were: Thomas, Richard, William, Eli Nathaniel, Mary Ramsey and Martha Hollingsworth.
