William Henderson was born in 1676 and baptised in Dunfermline Abbey. Having been born out of wedlock, this circumstance may have induced him to move his family to Ireland with a view to improving their economic prospects. In 1735 or 1736, four of his sons - William, John, James and Samuel - migrated from Ulster to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, becoming prominent members of the community in Augusta County where they were known as the ‘Augusta Boys’. It appears that they were unique in the area because of their literacy*. They were early members of the Old Stone Church, established in 1740 and the oldest presbyterian congregation still existing in the State of Virginia. The youngest son, Samuel, who fought in the French and Indian War, became a well-to-do farmer and land owner. His grandson, John, fought for the cause of Independence as a private in the rebel army at the Battle of King’s Mountain. Some sources state that William Snr. was buried at Fordell,
