Excerpt from Ancestry and Descendants of Lieut. John Henderson: Of Greenbrier County, Virginia, 1650 1900 Undue prominence has not been given some branches of the family over that of others because of any partiality, but because of the more abundant material. Several members of the family did not even acknowledge my letters of inquiry. It has been a labor of love to gather here and there the records and floating traditions which illustrate a history rich in the story of brave men and noble women, thus saving from impending oblivion ever so little of their memory. Like Old Mortality, I have wandered among the graves of the past, and humbly at tempted to retouch the fading gravestones of virtue and worth.
