Samuel Henderson was born about 1765.

Samuel Henderson was a Militia Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War.^{[citation needed]} (There was a Samuel Henderson who "served as a private and lieutenant in the militia before and after the fall of Charleston. A.A.3526; W502."^[2] Was this the same Samuel? Watt-266 14:02, 10 October 2015 (EDT))

When the 1st US Census was taken in 1790, Samuel was living in Laurens, South Carolina, United States^[3]

In 1800, a Samuel Henderson was living in the Laurens District, South Carolina. His household included the following free white persons: 1 male and 1 female over 45, 1 female 26-44, 2 males 16-25, 1 male 10-15, and two slaves.^[4]

NOTE: This family fits Samuel's, however the oldest male is over 46, which is too old for the birth date 1765. Either the birth date of 1765 is incorrect (which it may be if he fought in the Revolutionary War), the Census is incorrect, or the Census refers to a different Samuel.

In 1810, "Saml Henderson Capt" was living in Laurens, South Carolina. His household included: Free white persons: 1 male under 10, 1 male 26-44, 1 female under 10, 1 female 26-44, and 2 slaves.^[5] This accounting is just about right if Samuel was born in about 1766.Watt-266 14:02, 10 October 2015 (EDT)

Samuel died between 4 March 1817 and 15 April 1817. He wrote his Will^[6] on 4 March 1817, and it was proved in court on 15 April 1817 in the Laurens District, South Carolina. In it, he mentions:
