William Henderson was born July 12th, 1824 and died January 18th,1909. He was born in Ireland, died in Lindsay,Ontario,Canada.
Mary Josephine Lafontaine was born January.1st,1835 and died December 21st,1905. She was born in Montreal,Quebec,Canada and died in Lindsay, Ontario,Canada.
According to census records, William migrated here in 1832 from Ireland with his parents. I have no concrete proof just yet, but I believe his parents to be John Henderson and Mary Palmer. Further research is needed to be 100% positive.
Willam and Josephine, however, made a quite large family for themselves up in Canada. A researcher connected with Lisa Henderson named Wayne Scholle has information on a family bible in which states William and Mary's children.
They are the following:
John Henderson b. Feb 19th, 1854
Simon Henderson b. Feb. 27th, 1856
Solomon Henderson b. Jan. 7th, 1858
Christopher Henderson b. June 17th,1860
Eliza Henderson b. July 16th, 1862 d. Nov 16th,1869
"Willie"William Henderson b.Nov.5th, 1864
Benjamin Robert Henderson b.March 6th, 1866 d. Feb 13th,1938
Mary Jane Henderson b.April 10th, 1870
George Henderson b.Sept.21st,1872 d.Feb. 18th, 1875
Albert Edward Henderson b.Oct.21st,1874
Catherine Henderson b.Dec.21st,1877 d.Dec.24th,1877
