There is evidence that John Henderson, husband of Ann Givens, was the son of James and Martha Henderson and that James was the brother of Samuel Henderson. We know that Samuel was incorrectly assigned as son of Capt William Henderson of Fordell in many trees. This leads me to believe that Capt. William should be removed as father to Lt. James Henderson as well. If there is a living male Henderson in this line who can be tested, that would prove this one way or the other.

OK, I'll ask the managers of Lt. James Henderson, of Augusta County if they have any convincing evidence that he was the son of Capt. William Henderson, of Fordell, with a view to breaking that link.

I’d like to go ahead and detach Ens. John Henderson, of Augusta County & Lt. James Henderson, of Augusta County apparently brothers according to wills, as sons of Capt. William Henderson, of Fordell & his wife Margaret Bruce

It looks like Samuel Henderson Sr, of Augusta County has a well defined Y DNA grouping, and I’m uncertain if that rules him out or in as their brother.
