| Notes |
!PARENTS: Will of Shadrack Henderson; Nelson County, Virginia;
Will Book A; page 135. For a description of the evidence that the William
Henderson in this will is my William H. Martin, see my Web page at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~vagenealogy/martin.htm
William may actually have been a stepson of Shadrack Henderson, rather
than his son.
!BIRTH DATE: Personal property tax lists; 1796-1807; Albemarle
County, Virginia. Shadrack Henderson's third son turned 16 in
1796 (see notes under Joseph and John, the first and second sons).
From 1800 through 1803, William is included in Shadrack's entry,
identified as his son. From 1805 through 1807, William has his own
separate entry, but still designated as "Shas. Son" (or some other
abbreviation of Shadrack). My abstract of these lists is on my Web site, at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~vagenealogy/albemarle_tax.txt .
Two other sources give William two slightly different birth dates, on either
side of 1780: According to the death register (see below), he was born
about 1773. According to the 1850 census for Nelson County, Virginia
(page 295), he was born about 1784. I have chosen to follow the birth
date reflected in the tax lists, because they were created closer to
William's actual birth.
