Census Information:
From the History of Pike County Missouri 1883:
Samuel Henderson moved his family to Missouri [from North
Carolina] in 1834, settling on the headwaters of Buffalo Creek, where
he continued to reside until the time of his death; he was one of the
heavy tobacco growers of that section; he was also a grower of grain
and stock. He was a very kind, hospitable man, delighted in hunting,
and has been known to kill as many as eight wild turkeys at a single
shot in days when game was more abundant than it is now; he was a
strong, healthy man, who never took a dose of medicine in his life.
After being in Missouri some years he revisited his old home in North
Carolina, and on his return walked all the way back, carrying his
saddle-bags and his clothes, getting home ahead of other parties
starting at the same time on horseback. He died in his eighty-seventh
year in the full enjoyment of all his faculties.
