The Henderson Family
The Story of the Henderson Family is quite remarkable.
It stretches back in time to the south of Scotland when Thomas George Henderson married Janette Storey, on to one of their sons, Adam and his wife Rebecca McQuade, and to William Grover Henderson and Margaret Blanche Cummings, who raised a family on a farm in Groveton, Ontario, Canada.
That is where this Henderson story begins, in a remarkably small farm house where all six children were born, grew up and thrived. There may be other stories like it, but this is ours alone.

The Edwardsburg Township History (page 283_4) notes that many romances sprang up from meetings of The Union Literary Club at the Island School S.S. #16 on Dukelow Road (an extension of Ventnor Road, see map in book). It is here noted that "William Henderson married Margaret Cummings." The Cummings home was on Ventnor Road and Henderson home at Groveton directly on Highway 16.
In 1919, William's father, Adam, owned all of the farm and sold it to William for $2000, taking back a mortgage of $1000. The other $1000 motgage was held by John Jennings, who lived on the concession north pof Groveton. According to William's son, George, "He was a Jewish gentleman, I think. I can remember him pestering my father regularly. He ran a shoe maker's sho[ in Spencerville and drove a horse and buggy every day going right past our house. How convenient to stop in and say hello. 'Oh, by the way, Bill...'" The record of payments from 1920 on tell how hard it was to make money on the farm. The final payment of $300 was made on May 27, 1947.
The family was all born in the house at Groveton corners, and William lived there until his removal to Brockville hospital shortly before his death. Margaret sold the farm eventually and moved to Ottawa for some time and later to Kemptville where she lived in the house owned by her daughter Madeline and husband Jim Knox.
