The Hendersons originated in several areas of Scotland. A small clan, they have been involved in the mainstream of history, from clan battles in the Highlands, to the plantation of Ulster, the Jacobite uprisings, and the Massacre at Glencoe, and emigration to North America and Australia. There have been Henderson Chiefs, and farmers, Knights and colliers, Generals and soldiers, good Scots wherever they have chosen to live. Sola Virtus Nobilitat!
