General Notes: Husband - James L. Henderson

---

His boyhood was passed on the home place until he was seventeen years old, when he enlisted in August, 1861, in Company B, First Virginia Cavalry, serving with distinction under Gens. Shields and Sheridan. When the regiment was mustered out he returned home, and entered Duff's Business College, from which he was graduated with high honors.
He was extensively engaged in stock dealing and raising, and is one of the best-known importers of sheep and cattle in his section; he owned one of the finest herds of cattle ever introduced into Washington County, one which he collected regardless of labor and expense. In his political predilections he always supported the Republican party, but close application to business prevented his accepting political preferments. He took an active interest in educational matters, both in Chartiers and Canton townships, and served several terms as school director. He and his family were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Washington.
