In the 14th & i5th centuries this name was found in various parts of scotland. The Hendersons of Glencoe claim to have occupied that glen before the advent of the MacDonalds,& futher allege that the ancestress of the MacDonaldswas the daughter of the Henderson chief. In the north the Hendersons are septs of Clan Gunn & claim to be decended from Henry, son of George Gunn the famous "crowner" of the 15th century. From the hendersons of Fordell in Angus descend the noted divine. William henderson(1583-1646). In the highlands the name is often rendered as MacKendrick from the Gaelic MacEanrui meaning "son of Henry". (Clan collection, Edinburgh Castle) |
