The Henderson connection with our family descend from Henry Henderson of Belfast, N Ireland, in the latter half of the 18thC. Several of the family were eminent Church men, and others were owners of Newspapers in Northern Ireland. Later generations spread widely around the world.

Our branch are the offspring of Ernest Henderson (son the the Rev Henry Henderson) & Agnes Quinn who lived in Ontario in the late 19thC. Ernest emigrated to Canada in the 1870's and after a time as a railway engineer, became the head of the Windsor Salt Works in Essex Co, Ontario. Nothing is known of Agnes Quinn's family, and little of Ernest's mother, Sarah Russell. The Hendersons and probably the Russells were Presbyterian Irish. The Presbyterian records may reveal more when the opportunity to examine them arises.

The history of the remainder of his family is documented:

Creina, daughter of Ernest Henderson, married as his second wife,

They were my parents-in-law.
