      <abstract id="aspace_0687cf2dc120f3af0f012deb7986a756">The Henderson Family relates to former Wake Forest University president, Dr. Thomas Henderson Pritchard. His presidency, the school's fifth, was from 1878 to 1882. Materials in this collection include several book manuscripts written by Harvey H. Henderson; they all are about Samuel Henderson, an ancestor of Pritchard. The books describe early generations of the Henderson family and contain area maps as they relate to the family's migration and property.</abstract>

      <head>Biographical Note</head>
      <p>Samuel Henderson, Senior, was born on May 17, 1700, in Hanover County, Virginia. Having moved around to different states, counties, and cities, such as Nutbush Creek, he became an integral part of the Guilford County, N.C., and commissioner of Rockingham County, N.C. Later he became a judge and high sheriff for Granville County.</p>
      <p>Thomas Henderson Pritchard was the fifth University president (1878-1882), then known as Wake Forest College. Pritchard attended Wake Forest College in 1849, though he left the college early to pursue paid work in order to fund his education. He returned to Wake Forest College in 1853 and completed his degree in 1854. Pritchard was a descendent of Samuel Henderson, Sr.</p>
      <p>Harvey Hobbs Henderson is a descendent of Samuel Henderson just as Pritchard was. Henderson wrote several books about his ancestor Samuel and appears to have done extensive family genealogical research. Henderson was born in 1938, in Alabama, where he lived most of his life. He died in May 2008.</p>
